Description
Delicious grilled chicken bowls with crisp broccoli and a rich creamy garlic sauce, packed with flavor and nutrition.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast
- 2 cups fresh broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill on medium-high. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once grilled, let it rest before slicing.
- Blanch the broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the garlic sauce: In a saucepan, heat a bit of olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add in the heavy cream and bring to a slight simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Finish with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the bowls: Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it in bowls with the blanched broccoli. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce before serving.
Notes
You can substitute the chicken with grilled tofu for a plant-friendly option. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
