Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Step 5: Assemble the Dish

On a plate, place a serving of cooked lentils and cabbage salad. Top with grilled chicken breast. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
