Description
A simple recipe for grilled chicken and broccoli served over rice with a creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove and let rest, then slice.
- Steam or lightly boil broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain well.
- Prepare the sauce: Whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, water, and oregano in a small bowl. Add more water if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken and broccoli florets.
- Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice for white rice.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a little lemon juice and herbs before grilling.
