  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh lemon juice (for flavor)
  • For the creamy garlic sauce:
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or tahini
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub the spices evenly into the meat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  3. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the broccoli. Steam the florets for 5-7 minutes or roast at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking.
  4. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise or tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add extra garlic if desired for more flavor.
  5. Assemble the bowls by placing sliced grilled chicken at the bottom, followed by broccoli. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce and squeeze fresh lemon juice over all.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep chicken and broccoli separate; store the sauce in a sealed jar for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in microwave or stovetop.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil. Customize with roasted sweet potatoes or glazed carrots for added sweetness.
  • Try different sauces such as tahini, salsa, or spicy sriracha yogurt for variety.
