Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coating them well in the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

    Prepare the Broccoli: While the chicken is marinating, blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain well and set aside.

      Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill (or parsley). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the flavors as desired and set aside.

        Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

          Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top each with grilled chicken slices, blanched broccoli florets, and a drizzle of the creamy garlic sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley for garnish.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls warm, and enjoy your delicious and nutritious grilled chicken & broccoli meal!
