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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a bowl, layer the blanched broccoli and sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
- Enjoy your Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls With Creamy Garlic Sauce warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
