Grilled Chicken with Whole Grain Rice and Broccoli

Directions

1. Start by marinating the chicken breasts.

2. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for about 15-30 minutes.

4. While the chicken is marinating, cook the whole grain rice according to package instructions.

5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

   Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

6. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

7. In a separate pot, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

9. To serve, divide the cooked whole grain rice between two plates.

10. Top with sliced grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.

11. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dishes and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

12. If desired, serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing of flavor.
