Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

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

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and lime juice. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Grill or pan-fry the chicken over medium-high heat until cooked through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  • Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Assemble the Bowls:
  • Divide the cooked rice or quinoa between two bowls. Top each bowl with steamed or roasted broccoli and sliced chicken.
  • Drizzle generously with the Creamy Garlic Sauce. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For a spicier dish, add more cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.

You can use any type of cooked grain you like, such as brown rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.

Customize the bowls with additional toppings like avocado slices, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
