restaurantInstructions

1

Season the chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub all over with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2

Preheat the grill

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Oil the grates lightly so the chicken releases easily.

3

Grill

Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.

4

Cook the vegetables

While the chicken rests, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and tender.

5

Serve

Plate the sliced chicken alongside the vegetables with the lemon wedges. Squeeze fresh lemon over everything just before serving.
