# Instructions:
01 -
In a bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare other components for your High Protein Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls.
02 -
In a separate bowl, toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Set aside, ready for grilling or roasting alongside the chicken.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional). This vibrant drizzle will finish your High Protein Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls.
04 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
05 -
While the chicken rests, add the seasoned broccoli florets to the hot grill or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Alternatively, roast in a 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes.
06 -
Slice the rested chicken breasts into strips or cubes. Divide the grilled chicken and charred broccoli evenly among 4 serving bowls. This forms the hearty base for your delicious High Protein Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls.
07 -
Generously drizzle the Zesty Lemon-Herb Drizzle over each bowl, ensuring all components are coated. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying high-protein meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For easy meal prep, cook the chicken and broccoli ahead of time. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Whisk the dressing fresh before serving.
02 -
Add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped almonds to your High Protein Grilled Chicken Broccoli Bowls for extra crunch and healthy fats.
03 -
Feel free to substitute broccoli with other quick-cooking vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, or zucchini for variety. Adjust cooking times as needed.
04 -
If you enjoy more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes in the Zesty Lemon-Herb Drizzle or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade.
