Enjoy a delightful fusion of flavors with these Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls topped with a rich, creamy garlic sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, this nourishing meal is both satisfying and easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for about 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a bowl, layer the blanched broccoli and sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
  6. Enjoy your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls With Creamy Garlic Sauce warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
