Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cooked grains (rice, quinoa, couscous, etc.)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices. Grill over medium-high heat until grilled through and lightly charred (internal temperature should reach 165°F), flipping once during cooking.
- Prepare the broccoli by tossing it with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread broccoli on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes until crisp-tender.
- While the chicken grills and broccoli roasts, prepare your chosen grains according to package instructions and fluff them with a fork once cooked.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened slightly.
- In serving bowls, layer your prepared grains at the bottom. Top with sliced grilled chicken pieces and roasted broccoli. Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.
