Chicken

Lemon Butter Sauce

Cheddar Grits

Broccoli

Method

Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.

Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.

Cheddar Grits

  1. 4

    Cook the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese and butter until melted and creamy.

Broccoli

  1. 6

    Sauté the Broccoli

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender yet still vibrant green.
