Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Skillet
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh rosemary and thyme for garnish (optional)
Directions
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the mixture and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the chicken is fully cooked (165°F/74°C internal temp). Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, toss in cherry tomatoes and chickpeas. Sauté for 3 minutes until the tomatoes start to blister. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted.
Assemble: Add cooked rice to the pan, stir gently, and place the grilled chicken on top. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with rosemary or thyme if desired.
