Delicious Grilled Chicken and Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce

A satisfying, protein-packed weeknight bowl that’s creamy, bright, and ready in under 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sauce/optional roasting)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.
  2. Steam or blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 4–5 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, stir, and simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. To assemble, divide the broccoli into bowls, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform grilling. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked without overcooking.
