Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thick strips. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
During the last 10 minutes of grilling, add the bell pepper strips to the grill. Grill them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
Remove the chicken and bell peppers from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with the bell peppers on the side, and enjoy your delicious and healthy Paleo meal.
