Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
    • Add the lime juice and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  • Cook the Chicken:
    • Grill or pan-fry the chicken until cooked through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side.
    • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the Bowls:
    • Divide the rice or quinoa between two bowls.
    • Top with the steamed broccoli and sliced chicken.
    • Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce and serve with lime wedges.

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 or quinoa.
  • Serve the bowls with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
