Ingredients
Scale
2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 cups cooked brown rice (or quinoa)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch of paprika (optional)
½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp light mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1–2 tbsp water (to thin)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Grill for about 6–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked, achieving an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for a moment, then slice it into strips.
Steam the broccoli florets for 4–5 minutes until they’re bright green and tender yet crisp.
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.
Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top just before serving.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the chicken before grilling. Adjust sauce thickness by varying the water amount.
