Instructions
Making Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Steam the Broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets for about 4-5 minutes or until bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Prepare to Serve: Slice the grilled chicken into strips.
7. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa (if using), followed by the steamed broccoli, and top with sliced grilled chicken.
8. Add the Sauce: Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and added flavor.
These steps ensure you create a delicious and visually appealing meal effortlessly.
