Description
A comforting and hearty bowl featuring grilled chicken and tender broccoli in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, allowing the flavors to marinate.
- Preheat your grill and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked through, achieving that beautiful golden color.
- While the chicken is grilling, take a skillet and sauté the broccoli florets in olive oil until they’re tender and slightly crisp.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Slice the grilled chicken into tender strips and get ready to assemble your bowls.
- In each serving bowl, place a portion of sautéed broccoli, add the sliced chicken on top, and generously drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
- Serve immediately while hot.
