How to Make Our Keto Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, coat chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it sit 10 minutes while prepping the vegetables.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
- Cook the Broccoli: Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F for 12–15 minutes or sauté in a skillet until bright green and tender.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayo, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Thin with water until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Assemble: Divide broccoli into bowls, top with grilled chicken, and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.
- Serve: Add extra lemon or fresh herbs if you like.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Refrigerate: Store bowls in airtight containers up to 4 days. Keep sauce separate for best texture.
- Reheat: Warm chicken and broccoli in the microwave; add sauce after reheating.
- Freeze: Chicken freezes well; broccoli becomes soft but still usable. Do not freeze the sauce.
- Serving Pairings: Add cauliflower rice, zucchini ribbons, or a keto side salad to make it a full meal.
