Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein & Vegetables

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

02 - 2 cups broccoli florets

→ Fats & Oils

03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

04 - 1 tablespoon butter

→ Sauce

05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

# How to Make It:

01 - Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

02 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest.

03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until bright green and just tender. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

04 - In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown.

05 - Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and reduce heat to low. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

06 - Slice the grilled chicken breasts into desired thickness.

07 - Divide broccoli and sliced chicken between two serving bowls. Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce.

08 - Serve immediately while sauce is warm.
