Instructions

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Once done, remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets until just tender, which takes about 4-5 minutes. Once done, set the broccoli aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Slice the grilled chicken and divide it into bowls, placing it alongside the steamed broccoli. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the chicken and broccoli.
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome, satisfying meal.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

If you prefer dark meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier option.

This recipe is great for meal prep; you can prepare the chicken, broccoli, and sauce in advance.

For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the creamy garlic sauce or season the chicken with cayenne pepper.

If you’re looking to make it heartier, you can add quinoa or brown rice to the bowl.
