Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 chicken breasts and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
Step 3: While chicken grills, toss 3 cups broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Grill broccoli in a grill basket or on foil for 5-6 minutes until edges are charred and tender.
Step 4: Plate the grilled chicken alongside the charred broccoli and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh finish.
