This Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowl with Creamy Garlic Sauce is a healthy, satisfying meal combining juicy grilled chicken, vibrant broccoli, and a rich, tangy sauce that takes everything to the next level.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let the chicken sit for about 15 minutes to marinate.
  2. Prepare the Broccoli: While the chicken marinates, steam or microwave the broccoli florets for 3-5 minutes until they turn bright green and become tender.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: While the chicken grills, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice it. To serve, place a generous portion of broccoli in a bowl, add the sliced chicken on top, and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.

Notes

  • Swap the Protein: You can replace the chicken with grilled shrimp, turkey breast, or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Add More Veggies: Try adding sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini to the bowl for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, consider adding red pepper flakes to the creamy garlic sauce or seasoning the chicken with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Dressing Variations: Instead of the creamy garlic sauce, try a balsamic glaze, a lemon-tahini dressing, or a classic vinaigrette for a lighter alternative.
