Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and allow them to sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Steam or microwave 2 cups of broccoli florets until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F). Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowls: slice grilled chicken into strips, place broccoli at the bottom, layer with chicken, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.
