Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 2 cups asparagus trimmed
  • 2 medium zucchini spiralized into noodles
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for grilling
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
  3. While the chicken is grilling, heat the remaining olive oil in the pan and sauté the asparagus for 5-6 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender, then remove from the heat.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Serve the chicken alongside the asparagus and zucchini noodles for a perfectly balanced, low-carb meal.
