Lemon Butter Chicken

Cheddar Grits

Broccoli

Method

Lemon Butter Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Make Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, and remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the lemon butter sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and pour the remaining lemon butter sauce over the top before serving.

Cheddar Grits

  1. 5

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt.

  2. 6

    Cook Grits

    Gradually stir the grits into the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Broccoli

  1. 8

    Prepare Broccoli

    While the chicken and grits are cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green.

  2. 9

    Sauté Broccoli

    Drain the broccoli and then heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and season with salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
