PREPARATION

  • Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this over the chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill: Set to a medium-high flame. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the chicken: Cook for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove and let rest.
  • Prepare the cabbage: While the chicken is grilling, heat a pan over a medium flame and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Sauté the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice and serve: Cut the grilled chicken into strips and plate with the cabbage. Drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

12 minutes

TIPS

  • Tender chicken: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling to keep it juicy.
  • Extra flavour: Marinate the chicken for longer (up to 2 hours) to deepen the lemon and garlic infusion.
  • Crispier cabbage: Sauté on high heat for a slight char and smoky flavour.
  • Batch cooking: Grill extra chicken and store it for future meals to save time.
  • Enhanced taste: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the cabbage for a tangy twist.

VARIATIONS

  • Dairy-free option: Add a drizzle of tahini or avocado dressing instead of cheese-based toppings.
  • Spicy version: Sprinkle with red chilli flakes or drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Herb-infused: Use fresh parsley or basil for a fragrant touch.
  • Additional vegetables: Mix in sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms for more texture and nutrients.
  • Protein boost: Add a handful of roasted chickpeas for extra protein and crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
  • Freezing: Freeze grilled chicken separately for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
