Description
Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce are a nutritious and flavor-packed meal perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep. Juicy, seasoned chicken breasts are paired with tender-crisp broccoli and drizzled with a creamy, garlicky sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cup cooked rice or quinoa
Instructions
1. Start by rubbing the chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Fire up the grill or heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it.
3. You can prepare the broccoli by steaming it for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp, or roasting it at 425°F for 15 minutes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Divide the cooked rice or quinoa between serving bowls. Top with the grilled chicken slices and steamed or roasted broccoli. Generously drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Serve with fresh lime wedges.
Notes
These bowls are perfect for meal prep. Cook the chicken and broccoli in advance, then assemble the bowls and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce when ready to serve.
