Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Fresh broccoli florets
Olive oil
Salt and black pepper
Garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
Plain Greek yogurt
Mayonnaise or sour cream
Fresh garlic cloves, minced
Lemon juice
Dried herbs like parsley or dill
Instructions
Brush the chicken with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat the grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Steam or roast the broccoli until tender-crisp. To roast, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and cook at 425°F (220°C) for about 10 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (or sour cream), minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth to make the creamy garlic sauce.
Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it over rice, quinoa, or greens. Add the broccoli, drizzle with creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with herbs if desired.
Notes
This recipe makes 4 generous bowls.
You can swap out the broccoli for other veggies like roasted cauliflower, asparagus, or bell peppers.
Chicken thighs can be used for a more tender and juicy result.
Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
