Haehnchenbrust vom Grill mit Gemuese (Grilled Chicken Breast with Steamed Vegetables) is German home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Combine the chicken breasts with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, the lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through and lightly charred, then let them rest a few minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, steam the broccoli and carrots over boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes, until just tender.
- Toss the steamed vegetables with the remaining olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper.
- Slice the chicken and serve it alongside the steamed vegetables, plain and light the way a German kitchen turns to on a busy weeknight when something lean is wanted.
