Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and lightly oiled.

Step 2

Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into strips, removing the seeds and stems.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for the bell peppers. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, add the sliced bell peppers and the remaining marinade. Toss to coat the vegetables thoroughly.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.

Step 7

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Simultaneously, place the bell peppers on the grill. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have grill marks.

Step 9

Once the chicken and bell peppers are cooked, remove them from the grill.

Step 10

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the grilled chicken alongside the bell peppers. Enjoy your delicious sugar-free meal!
