Here’s a simple and tasty idea for Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls—perfect for a healthy, filling meal:
Ingredients (for 2-3 servings)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, a drizzle of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken
- Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
- Cook the broccoli
- Steam or lightly sauté broccoli until tender-crisp (about 4–5 minutes).
- Optional: toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and juices run clear.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
- Assemble the bowls
- Divide the cooked rice/quinoa into bowls.
- Top with sliced grilled chicken and broccoli.
- Add optional toppings like sesame seeds, green onions, or a drizzle of sauce.
💡 Tip: For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a mix of soy sauce, honey, and garlic before grilling.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan version so you can cook chicken, broccoli, and rice together in one dish for super easy cleanup. Do you want me to do that?
