Description

A comforting dish featuring grilled chicken and sautéed broccoli, drizzled with a creamy garlic sauce.


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

  1. Start by marinating the chicken: In a bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Grill each breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine the heavy cream, remaining minced garlic, soy sauce, and any leftover marinade in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until heated through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill, slice it into bite-sized pieces, and assemble the bowls with sautéed broccoli, sliced chicken, and creamy garlic sauce.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate the chicken for several hours for more flavor and store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
