Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Seasoning and Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to properly sear and cook the chicken.
  2. Season the Chicken: Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper for flavor.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Steam the Broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets in a pot with a steaming basket until tender but still bright green, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dried parsley. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Slice and Assemble: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest briefly before slicing it. Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of steamed broccoli in bowls.
  7. Serve with Sauce: Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli bowls just before serving for a flavorful finish.

Notes

  • To check chicken doneness, use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  • You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables like asparagus or green beans for variety.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice for an hour before grilling.
  • Leftover grilled chicken can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Use plain Greek yogurt to keep the sauce low in sugar and high in protein.
