Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce

These Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce are wholesome, flavorful, and come together in just 40 minutes. Juicy chicken, tender broccoli, and a rich garlic sauce make the perfect balanced meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate for 20 minutes.

2. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill chicken 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden. Let rest, then slice into strips.

3. Steam or sauté broccoli until tender-crisp, about 4–5 minutes.

4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, stir in parsley if desired.

5. Assemble bowls with broccoli as the base, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with creamy garlic sauce, and garnish.

Notes

For the juiciest chicken, let it rest before slicing.

Blanch broccoli before sautéing to keep its bright green color.

The creamy garlic sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
