Grilled Chicken with salad

This may be pretty basic but it's basic that we forget about. Grill chicken with your favorite marinade and slice it up and throw a salad together. Easy, healthy and a pretty week night meal.



Here's how I did mine....


2 chicken breasts with Teriyaki marinade
lettuce
carrots
bell pepper
feta cheese
cucumber


Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. Grill breasts for about 10 min per each side. It's important to NOT overcook chicken. It can be a wonderful juicy meat if people give it a chance.


Prepare what salad items you like and put together. Top with the warm meat. if you decide to have cheese, the meat will melt it nicely. Since I had feta on this, I didn't even add a dressing. Wonderful light salad that was very satisfying! If you skimp on other ingredients that add calories, feel free to double the meat for 2 servings.

My favorite kitchen utensil is a cheap scale that I bought at Wal-Mart. It's so easy for us to overeat when storebought meats are not portioned for one. **One serving of cooked chicken breast with no skin or bones is 3oz. So..do yourself a favor and get a little kitchen scale.
