Ingredients

  • For the chicken and broccoli:
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • For the creamy garlic sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp water (to thin as needed)
  • For the bowl:
  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
  • Fresh parsley or green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken with garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  3. Toss broccoli with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in oven for 15–20 minutes or grill in a basket until tender and crisp.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise or yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and enough water to reach a drizzle consistency.
  5. To assemble, place rice in bowls, top with sliced chicken and roasted broccoli, then drizzle with garlic sauce.
  6. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap broccoli with roasted zucchini, peppers, or asparagus.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce for spice.
  • Grilled shrimp or tofu work well as protein substitutes.
