Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- For the creamy garlic sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
- Steam the Broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, steam broccoli until just tender (about 4–5 minutes). Set aside.
- Make the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or quinoa between bowls. Top with sliced chicken and steamed broccoli.
- Drizzle and Serve: Spoon creamy garlic sauce over each bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs or chili flakes if desired.
Notes
Swap the grilled chicken for grilled tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add extra toppings like avocado or roasted red peppers for more texture.
