Grilled Lemon Chicken

I really am trying to eat better. After my recent health scare I realized that, as much as I love rich sauces, red meats, rice, pasta and potatoes, I must make a change for the better. Now don't get me wrong - I am not planning to boycott all my favorite foods, but I am going to show more restraint than I have shown in the past! lol.

Here is a simple, quick, easy, and most tasty dish.

6 Chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2" thickness
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
garlic powder
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
Olive oil

I use a grilltop that goes over my gas burners. I brush olive oil thoroughly on grill and heat over medium-high heat. Dip chicken into the lemon juice and then season chicken with the garlic powder, salt & pepper. Place and grill and cook until juices run clear when cut into (about 5-7 minutes per side). Easy breezy sneezy peezy! Enjoy!!!

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Another gluten free dinner!!! I am liking these healthy, yet tasty dishes, and so is my scale! I grilled chicken again (well, we did have beef Monday & Tuesday nights so I needed to get us back on track) and served it with this wonderful side dish, as well as a green salad with my homemade ranch dressing.
