Description
Grilled chicken and broccoli bowls drizzled with a rich garlic sauce, perfect for meal prep or serving guests.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- Olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Once ready, grill the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes or until tender but still vibrant.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the remaining garlic and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir in parmesan cheese and lemon juice, and allow it to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Slice the grilled chicken into strips.
- To serve, layer the broccoli in bowls, top with chicken, and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
Notes
Ideal when served warm. Pair with quinoa or brown rice for added texture.
