Healthy Grilled Chicken Plate: 7 Reasons It’s the Best Dinner Choice
For the Plate
- 1 cup cooked brown rice whole grain
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, carrots)
- 1 tsp olive oil for roasting veggies
- Optional: lemon wedges, Greek yogurt-herb sauce
Smart swaps: quinoa for extra protein; cauliflower rice for low-carb; skin-on thighs for juicier meat (adjust cook time).
Timing
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Optional marinate: 30 minutes
- Cook: 20 minutes
- Total: 35–65 minutes (depending on marinade)
This workflow is roughly ~20% faster than many full dinner recipes that run 75–90 minutes, yet it keeps flavor, texture, and nutrition front and center.
