Description
A delicious and healthy recipe combining grilled chicken and fresh broccoli topped with a creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or quinoa, as base (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Trim and cut the chicken breasts into even pieces for quick and even grilling. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and mince fresh garlic for the sauce.
- Grill the Chicken and Broccoli: Lightly coat chicken and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and juicy. Grill broccoli simultaneously until just tender with char spots, about 6-8 minutes.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Bowls: If using, layer cooked rice or quinoa as a base. Top with grilled chicken and broccoli, then generously drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a low-carb version, skip the cooked rice or quinoa.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference.
