Liver Detox Approved Dinner: Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken or Fish with Avocado & Roasted Veggies


detox dinner chicken and vegetables

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 2 chicken breasts or white fish fillets (like cod, halibut, or salmon)

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

  • 1 zucchini, sliced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (for cooking)

  • 1 lemon (juice and zest)

  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken or Fish:

    • In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, fresh rosemary or thyme (if using), salt, and pepper.

    • Coat the chicken breasts or fish fillets in the marinade. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.


  2. Prepare the Veggies:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Toss zucchini, broccoli, and bell pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.

    • Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly golden.


  3. Cook the Chicken or Fish:

    • Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.

    • Cook the chicken breasts for about 6–8 minutes per side (or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F) or fish for about 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness), until cooked through and lightly browned.

    • Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the cooked chicken or fish for extra flavor.


  4. Assemble:

    • Serve the chicken or fish alongside the roasted veggies.

    • Add avocado slices on top of the dish or on the side for a creamy, healthy fat boost.
