Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Broccoli:
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Roast the broccoli: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Make the creamy garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bowls: In serving bowls, layer the sliced grilled chicken, roasted broccoli, and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for meal prep. These bowls are delicious served warm or chilled!
Notes
- If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
- Feel free to add extra veggies like roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, or bell peppers for more variety.
- This dish can also be served with rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on the chicken or in the creamy sauce.
