Instructions
Creating Easy Grilled Chicken Bowls with Broccoli and Creamy Garlic Sauce is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Grill the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.
4. Cook the Broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets in a pot of boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
5. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips.
7. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice or quinoa (if using), followed by the steamed broccoli and sliced chicken. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
8. Serve: Enjoy your Easy Grilled Chicken Bowls with Broccoli and Creamy Garlic Sauce while hot.
