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
- Marinate the Chicken: Combine chicken with soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, remaining garlic, soy sauce, and leftover marinade over low heat until heated through.
- 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.
