Description

A delightful combination of grilled chicken, vibrant broccoli, and a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a wholesome meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 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
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over both sides of each chicken breast.
  3. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath.
  5. For the creamy garlic sauce, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Assemble the bowls by starting with brown rice or quinoa, followed by sliced grilled chicken, broccoli, and drizzled creamy garlic sauce. Top with Parmesan if desired.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

Prepare the creamy garlic sauce and grains a day in advance for easy assembly. Rest the chicken after grilling for juiciness.
