Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 lime, juiced
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Bowls:
1 pound broccoli florets, steamed or roasted
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
Lime wedges, for serving
Directions:
Prepare the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add the lime juice and toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat a grill or pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the cooked rice or quinoa between serving bowls.
Add the steamed or roasted broccoli and sliced grilled chicken.
Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
Serve with lime wedges for extra freshness.
Tips:
For extra heat, increase the cayenne pepper in the chicken seasoning.
Swap out rice or quinoa for your preferred grain, such as brown rice or cauliflower rice.
Customize your bowl with additional toppings like avocado, shredded cheese, or an extra dollop of sour cream.
