Ingredients

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1 pound(s), 4 (1/4-pound ) breasts

Garlic

2 clove(s), minced

Green hot chile peppers

1 item(s), (small), or red chile pepper, seeded and minced

Ground cumin

1 Tbsp

Paprika

1 Tbsp, smoked

Fresh thyme

1 Tbsp, chopped

Orange

1 medium, grated zest and juiced

Olive oil cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked new potatoes

Table salt

1 tsp

Asparagus

½ pound(s), spears, trimmed

Little Gem lettuce

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken, garlic, chile, cumin, paprika, chopped thyme, and orange zest and juice in large zip-close plastic bag. Seal bag and turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate 2 hours.
  2. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Preheat grill to medium or prepare medium fire.
  3. Meanwhile, place potatoes in medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes in half.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lightly spray potatoes, asparagus, and lettuce with olive oil nonstick spray. Place chicken and vegetables on grill rack and grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are well marked, about 10 minutes for chicken, about 8 minutes for asparagus and potatoes, and about 3 minutes for lettuce. Sprinkle vegetables with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Serve chicken with grilled vegetables and lemon wedges.
  6. Serving size: 1 chicken breast, 3/4 cup potatoes, 1/2 head lettuce, and 1/4 of asparagus
