Description
A healthy and delicious recipe for Grilled Chicken and Broccoli Bowls topped with a creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 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 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets for about 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth 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 and steamed broccoli. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute the broccoli with other vegetables like asparagus or bell peppers for a different taste and texture.
