Grilled Chicken Marinade for Dieting

Grilled chicken is often included in weight loss diets because it’s low in fat and calories. The protein in chicken helps increase satiety, build muscle, and maintain muscle mass.

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Serves: 4 people

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp rosemary

• ¼ tsp ground red pepper (paprika or chili powder)

• ¼ tsp cumin

• ¼ cup olive oil

• 4 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Preparation:

1. In a deep bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, and rosemary.

2. Add black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper, and cumin. Stir well until fully combined.

3. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and toss until fully coated.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 6 hours to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.

5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

6. Place the chicken pieces on a baking tray lightly greased with a little oil.

7. Bake for about 1 hour until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely browned.
