Lemon Butter Chicken

Cheddar Grits

Method

Lemon Butter Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Add 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the 4 chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Brush with additional marinade while grilling.

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and sprinkle with 2 tbs of chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Cheddar Grits

    Boil Water

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

  3. 7

    Cook Grits

    Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tbs of butter until melted and creamy.

Broccoli

    Prepare Broccoli

    While the chicken and grits are cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
