Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Grilled Chicken:

    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1 teaspoon onion powder

    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

    For the Broccoli:

    • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream for a richer flavor)

    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grilled Chicken:

    • Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

    • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. If you prefer, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the chicken for extra freshness.

    • Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

    • Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips or bite-sized pieces.

  2. Cook the Broccoli:

    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

    • Add the broccoli florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also steam or blanch the broccoli if preferred.

  3. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

    • In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

    • Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.

  4. Assemble the Bowls:

    • Divide the cooked broccoli into bowls.

    • Top each with grilled chicken slices.

    • Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the chicken and broccoli.

    • If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

  5. Serve:

    • Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy meal. This dish also works great as a meal prep option—just store the components separately and assemble when ready to eat.

Notes

  • If you want to add a bit of crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted sunflower seeds or sliced almonds on top.

  • This recipe is versatile, and you can easily swap the broccoli for other veggies like spinach, asparagus, or cauliflower.

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with dairy-free alternatives.

  • This dish can be paired with a grain like quinoa or brown rice for a more substantial meal.
