Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 cups broccoli florets
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– ½ cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooked rice or quinoa, to serve


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat while the chicken marinates.
3. Cook Broccoli: In a separate pot, bring water to boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
4. Grill Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear.
5. Prepare Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant (1 minute). Add the heavy cream and stir continuously until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Slice Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
7. Assemble Bowls: Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa. Arrange broccoli and sliced chicken on top, then drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over everything.
8. Serve: Garnish with additional salt and pepper if desired, and enjoy your wholesome meal right away!
