Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts fresh, no added salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for grilling
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Cauliflower
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken breasts with the herb mixture and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Cauliflower
  1. While the chicken is grilling, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper before serving.

Notes

Renal Diet Tips: Using fresh herbs instead of salt can enhance flavor while keeping sodium levels low. Opt for fresh or frozen cauliflower as they contain less potassium compared to other vegetables. Ensure that the chicken is free from additives to maintain a kidney-friendly profile.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve texture. This dish can be customized with other low-potassium vegetables if desired.
