Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless (skinless chicken breasts )

  • 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed )
  • 1 avocado (halved and pitted)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Fresh parsley (chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:

  1. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub the spice mix evenly on both sides.

2️⃣ Grill the Chicken:

  1. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

3️⃣ Grill the Vegetables:
