Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
- While the chicken grills, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the broccoli 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.
- Slice the grilled chicken and assemble bowls by placing broccoli at the bottom and topping it with sliced chicken. Drizzle creamy garlic sauce on top and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before marinating for better sear. Keep broccoli florets evenly sized for consistent cooking. For a thicker sauce, simmer longer or add cornstarch. Substitute half the cream with yogurt for a lighter option.
