Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Cook the Broccoli: While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket or microwave until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the sliced grilled chicken and steamed broccoli. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.

Notes

For added variety, serve over cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas. For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream and mayonnaise with dairy-free alternatives such as cashew cream or coconut yogurt.
