Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Chicken and Broccoli:

    • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 4 cups broccoli florets

    For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • ½ cup sour cream
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    For Serving:

    1. Cooked rice or quinoa
    2. Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:
    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts or thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.

  • Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.

  • Grill the Chicken:
    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once cooked, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  • Steam the Broccoli:
    While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets until they are tender yet still vibrant green, approximately 4-5 minutes.

 

  • Assemble the Bowls:
    In serving bowls, place a portion of cooked rice or quinoa as the base. Top with sliced grilled chicken and steamed broccoli florets. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute quinoa for rice if preferred.
  • Add extra vegetables like roasted bell peppers or spinach for more flavor and nutrients.

 

  • If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can replace the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
