Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cut the whole chicken in half and place it in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken halves and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken halves on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 15-20 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    While the chicken is grilling, cook the rice according to package instructions.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber. Drizzle with salad dressing and toss to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the half grilled chicken with rice and salad on the side.
