Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 15 minutes to infuse flavors.
  2. Prepare the Broccoli: While the chicken marinates, steam or microwave the broccoli florets until they are bright green and tender, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and juicy.
  4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy to create a tangy, flavorful sauce.
  5. Slice and Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes to retain juices, then slice into strips.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Place steamed broccoli into a serving bowl, top with sliced grilled chicken, and generously drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • To save time, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is perfectly cooked.
  • The sauce can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
  • Substitute broccoli with other steamed vegetables like cauliflower or asparagus if desired.
