Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

For the Vegetables:
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 avocado, halved
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
Step 1: Season the Chicken
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 2: Prepare the Grill
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- If using a grill pan, lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Grill the Chicken
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Grill the Asparagus
- Toss the asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
- Place the asparagus on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
Step 5: Assemble the Dish
- Slice the grilled chicken into strips.
- Arrange the chicken on a serving plate alongside the grilled asparagus, halved avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and healthy meal.
Notes
- Check for Doneness: Always ensure chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Grill Marks: For picture-perfect grill marks, avoid moving the chicken or asparagus too much while grilling.
- Avocado Selection: Use a ripe avocado for maximum creaminess.
