Instructions
Creating flavorful Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple with these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, add chicken breasts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Prep the Broccoli: While chicken marinates, steam or blanch broccoli for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 75°C). Remove and let it rest before slicing.
4. Make the Garlic Sauce: In a skillet on medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Combine Cream: Pour in heavy cream, Italian herbs, and lemon juice. Stir to combine, then simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Assemble the Bowls: Slice the grilled chicken and divide it among bowls. Add broccoli and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for added freshness and color.
