Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add the chicken breast to the marinade, coating it well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for best flavor.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cook the Broccoli

Choose your method: roast at 425°F until edges brown, quick steam, or sauté in a skillet with a little oil.
Season broccoli with salt and pepper after cooking.

Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or mayo), grated garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust thickness with water if desired.

Assemble the Bowls

Start with a base of rice or quinoa.
Layer with bright broccoli and sliced grilled chicken.
Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce.
Top with black pepper, lemon squeeze, and green onions.

Notes

Store everything in airtight containers. Reheat individually and keep sauce separate until serving.
