1. Can I make Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely prepare the chicken and broccoli ahead of time. Grill the chicken and roast the broccoli, then store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, just reheat and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. This makes it a great option for meal prep.

2. Can I use frozen broccoli for this recipe?

Yes, frozen broccoli can be used in place of fresh broccoli. However, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly since frozen broccoli can release more moisture. To avoid sogginess, try roasting or grilling it on higher heat for a shorter time to achieve the perfect texture.

3. Can I substitute the Greek yogurt in the sauce?

If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can substitute it with regular plain yogurt, sour cream, or even a dairy-free option like coconut yogurt. Keep in mind that these alternatives may slightly alter the flavor and texture, but they will still create a creamy sauce.

Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Grill the chicken over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once cooked, slice it thinly.
Toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast or grill the broccoli at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and paprika. Stir until combined.
Serve the sliced chicken and roasted broccoli over a bed of rice or quinoa. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the chicken is grilled to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Adjust roasting time for the broccoli depending on the desired level of crispiness.
Use quinoa or rice as a base to complement the flavors of the chicken and broccoli.
For meal prep, store cooked chicken and broccoli separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
