Print Recipe

A wholesome and delicious meal featuring tender grilled chicken, crisp-tender broccoli, and a rich, flavorful creamy garlic sauce served over your choice of grains.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Cooked rice, quinoa, or grain of choice

Instructions

  1. Whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the marinade. Place chicken in marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. Toss broccoli florets with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until golden and tender, or steam until just fork-tender.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the creamy garlic sauce.
  5. Assemble bowls by layering cooked grains, roasted broccoli, and sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor. The creamy garlic sauce can be adjusted by substituting sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. This recipe is versatile and works well with any grain or additional vegetables.
