Low-Sodium Easy Chicken Breast Recipe is a wonderful part of most healthy diets. It’s versatile, easy to make and can be served any number of ways. This recipe uses ingredients that will bring out wonderful flavors in the chicken and satisfy the lack of salt.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless skinless pounded to 1/2″–3/4″ thick
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon parsley flakes
- ½ lemon juice
Instructions
- Tenderize the meat by pounding the chicken breasts thin.
- Once the chicken breasts are pounded thin, place in a shallow dish with remaining ingredients and coat well.
- Let it sit in the fridge covered for at least 30 minutes to allow the meat to marinate nicely. If you can let sit overnight – even better!
- Preheat your Foreman Grill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed. Use ‘high’ setting if your grill has it.
- Place chicken on grill and close lid. Let grill for about 5 minutes.
- Check for doneness. You do NOT want any pink in the middle.
- An average 6-ounce chicken breast of 3/4″ thick will take 4-6 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
- Remove from grill and let rest on a plate for a couple of minutes.
Notes
- Pounding the chicken breast thin is an important step to successfully grilling it at your Foreman Grill. Especially without the added salt, it will greatly help tenderize the meat.
