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
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the mixture onto 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 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.
- In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the creamy garlic sauce. Mix well until smooth.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken and steamed broccoli. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- You can substitute the broccoli with other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus for variety.
