Description
A delightful dish that combines tender grilled chicken with fresh broccoli, all drizzled in a savory garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb or 450 g)
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the broccoli florets, and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips. In a serving bowl, arrange the broccoli florets, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or freeze components separately for later use.
- For a vegan option, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh.
