Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (200g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (120ml)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Method
 

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

  2. While the chicken is cooking, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes or place them in a grill basket on the grill until they are tender and slightly charred.

  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and paprika. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of water to reach your desired consistency.

  4. Divide the cooked rice or quinoa into bowls. Top with the sliced grilled chicken and the roasted broccoli. Drizzle a generous amount of the creamy garlic sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

To ensure your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls turn out perfectly every time, make sure not to overcook the chicken; using a meat thermometer is the best way to keep it juicy. If you are meal prepping, store the sauce in a separate small container to keep the chicken and broccoli from getting soggy before you are ready to eat.
