# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup light mayonnaise, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp dried dill, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Thin with 2-3 tbsp water or milk to desired consistency. Refrigerate while preparing the rest of your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce.
02 -
Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut into 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, and salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss 1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, and salt and pepper.
03 -
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. This ensures a perfect sear for your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce.
04 -
Place seasoned chicken pieces on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from grill and set aside to rest.
05 -
Place seasoned broccoli florets directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
06 -
Divide grilled chicken and broccoli among 4 serving bowls. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For a dairy-free sauce, use a plant-based Greek yogurt alternative and vegan mayonnaise.
02 -
No grill? Roast the chicken and broccoli on a sheet pan at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
03 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently.
04 -
Add a side of quinoa or brown rice to make these bowls even heartier and more filling.
