Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 pieces red bell peppers
• 2 pieces yellow bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 whole avocado
• 0.5 cups fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cups fresh parsley leaves
• 3 tablespoons fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat)
• 1 minced garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350–400°F) and preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the peppers.

Step 2

Slice the red and yellow bell peppers in half lengthwise, removing seeds and membranes. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the peppers and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 4

While the peppers are roasting, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Grill the chicken over direct heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Prepare the green goddess dressing by scooping out the avocado into a food processor or blender. Add the basil, parsley, chives, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Once the roasted peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skins and slice them into strips.

Step 8

To serve, plate the grilled chicken breasts and top each with a generous spoonful of green goddess dressing. Arrange roasted pepper strips alongside as a side dish.

Step 9

Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb Green Goddess Grilled Chicken with Roasted Peppers!
