Instructions
 

Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken

  • Preheat Your Traeger: Set your Traeger grill to 375°F and allow it to preheat for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Transfer the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  • Grill the Chicken: After marinating, take the chicken out of the marinade and place it directly on the grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Easy Veggie Skewers

  • Preheat Your Traeger: Set your Traeger grill to 400°F.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: In a bowl, toss the sliced zucchini, cubed bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the Skewers: Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating between different colors and types for a vibrant presentation.
  • Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve: Enjoy the skewers as a side dish, or add them to salads and grain bowls for a nutritious boost.

Smoky BBQ Salmon

  • Preheat Your Traeger: Set your Traeger grill to 350°F.
  • Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Brush a layer of BBQ sauce on top of each fillet.
  • Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve: Serve with lemon wedges and a side of grilled asparagus or a fresh salad.
