Health benefits of Lemon Rosemary Chicken with Bread Salad

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. grated lemon peel
2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
4 each chicken drumsticks and thighs

Instructions

Reserve 1 tsp each grated lemon peel and chopped rosemary. Put remaining Marinade ingredients in a gallon-size ziptop bag and add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or overnight.
Heat outdoor grill.
Meanwhile, make Bread Salad: Combine tomatoes, onion and dressing in a medium bowl. Coat both sides of bread with garlic spray. Grill 2 minutes per side, or until lightly toasted. When cool enough to handle, cut bread in bite-size chunks. Put basil and bread on vegetables; set aside. Toss 10 minutes before serving.
Remove chicken from bag; place on grill (discard bag with marinade), cover grill and cook, turning chicken once, 30 to 35 minutes until juices run clear when meat is pierced. Sprinkle with reserved lemon peel and rosemary. Serve with the salad.
