Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 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 Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the chicken evenly.
  2. Season Chicken: Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is fully cooked and juicy.
  4. Steam Broccoli: While the chicken grills, steam the broccoli florets in a separate pot until they are tender but still crisp, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  5. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dried parsley. Mix well to create a creamy, tangy garlic sauce.
  6. Slice Chicken: Once grilled, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips for serving.
  7. Assemble Bowls: Arrange the steamed broccoli on plates, top with sliced grilled chicken, and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the top before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs if preferred, but adjust grilling time accordingly.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Steaming broccoli helps retain nutrients better than boiling.
  • This dish is great served with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
  • Use fresh parsley instead of dried if available for a brighter flavor.
