Description
A delightful and nutritious meal featuring marinated grilled chicken and sautéed broccoli, drizzled with a rich creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 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
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add broccoli, and sauté for about 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 any leftover marinade until heated through.
- Assemble the bowls by slicing the grilled chicken, placing sautéed broccoli at the bottom, topping with sliced chicken, and drizzling with creamy garlic sauce.
Notes
Let the chicken rest after grilling to retain moisture. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
