  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 cups broccoli florets
– 2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
– Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

Creating Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple! Just follow these steps for guaranteed success:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest.
3. Cook the Broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until bright green and tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Italian herbs. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Add Cheese: Reduce the heat, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips.
7. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the brown rice (or quinoa), topped with grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, and a generous drizzle of the creamy garlic sauce.
8. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an additional burst of flavor and color.
