Grilled Chicken Recipe

Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Preheat the Grill

While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steam the Broccoli

In a steaming pot or basket, add water and bring it to a boil. Place the broccoli in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.

Make the Mashed Potatoes

Boil peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste until smooth.

Prepare the French Bread

Slice the French bread into individual servings and optionally toast it on the grill for a few minutes until crispy.

Plate the Meal

On a plate, serve the grilled chicken along with the steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. Add slices of French bread on the side. Enjoy your meal!
