Ingredients
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Creating Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by flattening the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil on the grill, then add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Steam the Broccoli: While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. You can use a steamer or boil them briefly.
4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
5. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of broccoli, add sliced chicken on top, and drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce.
7. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor and color.
