Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Introduction

Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce deliver a symphony of flavors and textures in every bite. Succulent grilled chicken pairs with smoky-crisp broccoli and is finished with a luscious, tangy sauce—a balance that’s both wholesome and irresistibly satisfying.

Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prepping, this bowl offers a nourishing, protein-packed meal that won’t weigh you down but will keep you coming back for more.

Why You’ll Love These Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls

The appeal of this dish lies in its simple ingredients elevated by bold flavors. The chicken is marinated for maximum juiciness, while charred broccoli brings sweetness and crunch. The creamy garlic sauce—made with pantry staples—ties everything together, proving that healthy can also taste amazing.

Tips for Perfectly Grilled Chicken and Broccoli

Achieving juicy, flavorful chicken is all about marinating and even cooking. Use a digital meat thermometer, such as the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking, to ensure your chicken reaches the ideal internal temperature (165°F) without drying out.

For an easy, mess-free way to chop broccoli and prep your toppings, try the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It evenly dices vegetables, which speeds up prep and guarantees uniform bites.

While you can grill the chicken and broccoli together on an outdoor grill or grill pan, an COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 offers a convenient, indoor option, delivering crispy broccoli florets without extra oil.

The Creamy Garlic Sauce: The Essential Finish

Don’t overlook the sauce—it’s what transforms protein and veggies into a craveable bowl! A base of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise blended with lemon, Dijon, and plenty of garlic produces a punchy yet mellow sauce. For the smoothest finish, use the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender to whip everything until perfectly creamy.

Serving and Storing Your Bowls

These bowls are excellent for meal preppers: Pack servings in portioned containers like the Bentgo Salad Container for convenient grab-and-go lunches or dinners. Keep sauce separate until you’re ready to serve for the freshest taste.

Bulk prepping? Lay down a disposable table cover, like the Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, to catch spills and speed up clean-up during assembly.

Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce (Recap)

With marinated, grill-seared chicken, caramelized broccoli, and a zesty garlic sauce, these bowls are endlessly adaptable and sure to become a staple in your menu rotation—delivering flavor, balance, and ease in every bite.

Instructions

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prep the broccoli: Use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick, even pieces. Toss with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill or air fry: Preheat your grill, grill pan, or COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1. Grill the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking reads 165°F in the thickest part. Grill broccoli until tender and lightly charred (about 8–10 minutes), shaking halfway if using the air fryer.
4. Make the sauce: In a blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and water until smooth.
5. Assemble: Slice chicken and layer in bowls with broccoli and optional cooked grains. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and sprinkle on toppings of choice.
6. Store leftovers in the Bentgo Salad Container for meal prep or pack-and-go lunches.
