# Instructions:
01 -
Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (The Hearty Grillables). In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 3 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped) (Silky Garlic Embrace). Add 2-4 tbsp water to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This creamy sauce is key for your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls.
03 -
Place seasoned chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This ensures juicy chicken for your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce.
04 -
While the chicken rests, heat 1 tbsp olive oil (Verdant Florets) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups broccoli florets (Verdant Florets) and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
05 -
Slice the rested grilled chicken breasts into uniform bite-sized pieces or strips. This makes for easy eating and ensures even distribution of the protein throughout your hearty bowls.
06 -
Divide 3 cups cooked brown rice (Wholesome Foundation) among 4 serving bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken and sautéed broccoli florets. Drizzle generously with the prepared Creamy Garlic Sauce. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor on your broccoli, try roasting it in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of sautéing.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
03 -
Feel free to customize your bowls! Swap brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice, or add other veggies like bell peppers or asparagus.
04 -
If you don't have fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of dried dill can be used in the sauce, though fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor.
