Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh or frozen, thawed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt or dairy-free mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Adjust amount according to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Cooked rice or quinoa Optional for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.
  2. While the chicken is grilling, steam or blanch the broccoli until tender but still bright green.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice to make the creamy garlic sauce.
Assembly
  1. To assemble the bowls, layer rice or quinoa (if using), followed by grilled chicken, broccoli, and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy dinner!

Notes

Make sure to let the chicken rest after grilling; this keeps it juicy. Avoid overcooking the broccoli; it should be tender yet crisp. Customize by adding other vegetables or switching the protein source to grilled shrimp or tofu.
