Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of visible fat

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. In a bowl, combine the parsley, thyme, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. Mix well to form the marinade. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

Renal Diet Tips: Using fresh herbs and spices in marinades enhances flavor without adding sodium. Always trim visible fat from chicken to reduce fat content, making it a healthier choice for your renal diet.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain moisture. This dish pairs well with kidney-friendly sides like steamed zucchini or carrots.
