Description
A simple, nourishing meal combining grilled chicken, vibrant 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 in soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked.
- Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is grilling, heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the broccoli for 5-7 minutes until tender but still vibrant; season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, remaining minced garlic, soy sauce, and cooked marinade until heated through.
- Slice the grilled chicken and assemble bowls with broccoli at the bottom and chicken on top, drizzling with creamy garlic sauce before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add chopped parsley or sriracha to the sauce. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.
