Instructions
Creating Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce is seamless when you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare Broccoli: While the chicken marinates, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 3 minutes. Transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
3. Grill Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Make Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, start layering: first the broccoli, then the sliced grilled chicken, and top with the creamy garlic sauce.
6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a touch of heat and additional flavor. Serve immediately.
