Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Coat chicken breasts in the mixture and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Steam the broccoli: While grilling, steam broccoli florets for about 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Make the creamy sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, soy sauce, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and gently bubbling (about 5 minutes).
- Assemble bowls: Slice grilled chicken and layer it on top of steamed broccoli in bowls. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.
