Description

A healthy and delicious meal made with tender grilled chicken, roasted broccoli, and a rich creamy garlic sauce. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping or a quick weeknight dinner! Serve it over rice or quinoa for a complete and satisfying bowl.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  2. 2 cups (200g) broccoli florets

  3. 2 tbsp olive oil

  4. Salt and black pepper, to taste

  5. 1/2 cup (120ml) Greek yogurt

  6. 2 garlic cloves, minced

  7. 1 tbsp lemon juice

  8. 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

  9. 1/4 tsp paprika

  10. Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)


Instructions

  • Marinate & Grill Chicken:
    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill the chicken until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.

  • Roast Broccoli:
    Toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or grill them until they’re tender and slightly charred.

  • Make Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and paprika. Stir until well combined and creamy.

  • Assemble Bowls:
    Serve the sliced chicken and roasted broccoli over a bed of rice or quinoa. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.

 

  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Serve the bowls immediately while warm. This makes for a perfect, healthy meal!


Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, you can substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

 

  • You can swap quinoa for rice, couscous, or any other grain of your choice
