🍽️ Why You’ll Love This Bowl

As a W-W expert and meal prep mom, I love meals like this—clean ingredients, balanced macros, bold flavor. You can switch the grain, use what’s in the fridge, and still feel like a chef. Plus, my kids adore it with rice, while I love it with quinoa for that extra fiber kick!

🛒 Ingredients Needed

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 200g)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (nonfat for 0 W-W Points!)

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • ¼ tsp paprika

For Serving:

  • Cooked rice or quinoa – use brown rice or whole grains for extra fiber

👩‍🍳 How to Make Grilled Chicken Bowls

  1. Grill the Chicken

    • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil.

    • Grill or pan-sear for 6–8 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.

  2. Steam or Sauté the Broccoli

    • Toss broccoli in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    • Either steam it for 4–5 minutes or sauté it until vibrant and tender-crisp.

  3. Whisk the Sauce

    • In a small bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Stir until creamy.

  4. Assemble Bowls

    • Divide rice or quinoa between bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, broccoli, and a generous drizzle of garlic sauce.

🧊 Storage & Serving Suggestions

  • Fridge: Store components separately for up to 4 days.

  • Meal Prep Tip: Pre-portion into containers for grab-and-go lunches.

  • Warm It Up: Reheat chicken and broccoli in the microwave, then add sauce fresh.

💡 Tips & FAQs

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative like coconut yogurt or oat-based plain yogurt.

💛 Author Note

This bowl was born out of my busiest weekday—school pickups, coaching calls, and no time to think. But that didn’t stop me from throwing together something delicious and nourishing. The garlic sauce? Total game-changer. I even double it to use as dip for veggies the next day!
