    Other grilled chicken recipes we love are Korean Grilled Chicken Breasts, Grilled Chicken Shawarma and Grilled Chicken Salad with peanut vinaigrette.,Alt=,This dish is so summery and fresh! Ive partnered with ALDI to create this better-for-you summer dish using fresh vegetables and organic chicken breast. After hearing people raving about ALDI for years, I was excited to find an ALDI just a few minutes away from my new house score!! ALDI is obsessed with selling fresh, organic meats and seasonal produce at the lowest prices. No club cards, no coupons just value every single day.,Adding fresh pesto to grilled chicken breast is an easy way to get incredible flavor with clean ingredients. To keep it light, use less oil and prefer to omit the nuts. I love swapping out some of the basil for fresh spinach and arugula, a great way to get more greens in your meal!,For juicy, perfect grilled chicken breasts, always pound the thicker end of the chicken so that its an even thickness, allowing the chicken to cook evenly.,A grill pan is worth investing in to cook smaller vegetables on the grill so they dont fall through the grates.,For a gluten-free alternative to couscous, quinoa would be great.,For a low-carb alternative, cauliflower rice would make a great option.
