Description
Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce are delicious and nutritious, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While it heats, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Once the grill is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is resting, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the creamy garlic sauce.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, and a generous drizzle of the creamy garlic sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the chicken seasoning.
- You can also swap the broccoli for any other favorite vegetable, such as bell peppers or asparagus, for a different twist.
