Delicious Grilled Chicken and Orange Platter

Grilled Chicken and Orange Platter

Yesterday for dinner we grilled some skinless chicken breasts.  I wanted to use up the leftovers for today’s meal.

I decided to make a grilled skinless chicken breast platter with orange slices and cucumbers.

I’m always trying to figure out delicious, low calorie menus for the family.

The first thing I did was to get out a large platter. 

I washed my spinach leaves and plated them on the edge of the plate.  Be sure to tear off the the long tough stems.

The next step is to cut up and layer three skinless and boneless chicken breasts slightly over the spinach leaves.

I sometimes like my cucumbers peeled with a zester as it gives the dish it a fancier appearance.

One whole cucumber was used for this platter peeled with the zester.

I plated the cucumber on one side of the dish in overlapping slices.

I then peeled and sliced one large orange into even slices.

Each orange slice was cut in half for easy serving.

You can also leave the slices whole if you like that that look better.

Hard Boiled Eggs

I made several hard boiled eggs but only used one for this platter.

You can certainly add more hard boiled eggs if you like.

Sliced the egg in to quarters and place it to the edge of the platter.

 

To finish the platter, I scattered some black grapes over the orange slices.

I microwaved one strip of bacon until crispy.  The bacon was cut up into small pieces and scattered that over the chicken strips.  The bacon gives the platter another layer of flavor.

I also used about one tablespoon of finely cut up red onion which was scatter over the entire dish.

The platter is seasoned with a dash of dried parsley and dill.  However, you can use what ever dried spices you like.

The delicious grilled chicken and orange platter serves about four.  It can be served with your favorite salad dressing.
