Print Recipe

Experience the vibrant flavors of grilled chicken and tender broccoli drizzled with a luscious creamy garlic sauce. This dish is not only quick to prepare but also a satisfying meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions in a medium saucepan. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set aside.
  3. Preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. In the same saucepan used for the rice, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets, cover, and steam for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. In serving bowls, start with a base of brown rice, add sliced grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Feel free to garnish with extra black pepper or even some chopped parsley for a pop of color!
