Description

A delightful meal that perfectly balances savory flavors and fresh ingredients with juicy grilled chicken, crunchy broccoli, and a creamy garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing broccoli)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine chicken with soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Grill marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
  4. Sauté the Broccoli: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté broccoli for 5-7 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, remaining garlic, soy sauce, and leftover marinade over low heat until heated through.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Place sautéed broccoli in bowls, top with grilled chicken, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce. Serve warm.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or mushrooms and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
