Recipe 1: Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

Ingredients (Serves 4):    

  • 1 Packet Chicken Breast Boneless 450g by Zorabian

  3. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  5. Slice and serve with steamed broccoli or a green salad for a light chicken dish.
