How to make low-calorie grilled chicken breast

Chicken breast is already a low-calorie food, but when marinated to enhance flavor, the calorie count can increase significantly. On the other hand, if you use a very simple marinade to minimize calories, the dish may lack appeal, making dieting feel boring and potentially leading to taste fatigue. McCormick Montreal Chicken seasoning is the perfect solution, offering delicious flavor for chicken breast while remaining low in calories, convenient, and easy to use.

Ingredients:

• 4 pieces of chicken breast (or chicken thighs)
• 2 tablespoons Montreal Grill Mates seasoning (or Montreal Seasoning)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the chicken:

• Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
• Use a knife to make shallow cuts on the surface of the chicken to help the seasoning soak in better.

Marinate the chicken:

• Rub the Montreal Grill Mates seasoning evenly on both sides of the chicken.
• If desired, add minced garlic and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
• Brush a layer of olive oil on the chicken to keep it moist while grilling.

Grill the chicken:

• Preheat the grill (or oven) to medium-high heat.
• Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side (a total of 12-14 minutes), until the chicken is cooked through and the surface is golden and crispy.
• To check for doneness, use a food thermometer: the internal temperature of the chicken should reach at least 75°C (165°F).

Finish:

• Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
