Equipment

  • grill
  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts Substitute chicken thighs for juicier option.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Aids in grilling and adds richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances natural flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Enhances natural flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds mild smoky flavor.

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Replace with cauliflower or green beans if desired.

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free version.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Adds brightness and tang.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley Infuses freshness.

For the Base

  • 2 cups Rice or Quinoa Consider brown rice or couscous as alternatives.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it’s no longer pink in the center. Keep the chicken warm.
  • Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes until tender and vibrant.
  • Prepare your choice of rice or quinoa according to the package directions.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt with minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir in optional tahini until smooth.
  • Layer the cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top with grilled chicken slices, roasted broccoli, and creamy garlic sauce. Finish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Longer marination enhances flavor; store sauce separately to avoid soggy bowls.
