High Protein Breakfast Grilled on the Arteflame Grill

Grilling a high-protein breakfast on the Arteflame is a healthy choice because it allows for even cooking with minimal added fats, preserving the nutrients in your food. The high heat of the grill helps to sear the meats and vegetables quickly, locking in flavors and nutrients without the need for excess oils or butter. The Arteflame's design ensures that excess fats drip away from the food, resulting in a lower-calorie meal. Additionally, grilling enhances the natural flavors of high-protein foods like chicken and eggs, making them more satisfying and enjoyable. Incorporating grilled vegetables adds fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced, nutritious breakfast that supports muscle repair, energy levels, and overall well-being.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your Arteflame grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
  4. While the chicken is grilling, place the bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
  5. Crack the eggs onto the grill and cook to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled).
  6. Once everything is cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  7. Arrange the sliced chicken, grilled veggies, and eggs on a plate.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Marinate the chicken in your favorite herbs and spices overnight for extra flavor.
  • Use a grill pan for the vegetables to prevent them from falling through the grates.
  • Add a sprinkle of feta cheese or avocado slices for an extra boost of protein and healthy fats.

To estimate the amount of protein in this high-protein breakfast meal, let's look at the protein content of each component:

  1. Chicken Breasts:

    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each approximately 6 ounces or 170 grams)
    • Protein content: about 31 grams of protein per 6 ounces
    • Total for chicken: 31 grams x 2 = 62 grams of protein
  2. Eggs:

    • 4 large eggs
    • Protein content: about 6 grams of protein per egg
    • Total for eggs: 6 grams x 4 = 24 grams of protein
  3. Vegetables (bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes):

    • While vegetables do contain protein, the amount is relatively small compared to the chicken and eggs.
    • Estimated total protein from vegetables: approximately 3 grams of protein

Total Estimated Protein Content: 62 grams (chicken) + 24 grams (eggs) + 3 grams (vegetables) = 89 grams of protein

Conclusion: Grilling your high-protein breakfast on the Arteflame adds a delicious smoky flavor to your meal. This recipe, featuring grilled chicken, eggs, and veggies, is not only nutritious but also easy to prepare. Perfect for starting your day with a healthy dose of protein, this breakfast will keep you energized and satisfied.
