Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by mixing soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
- While the chicken grills, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté broccoli florets for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.

- Slice the grilled chicken into strips and layer it over sautéed broccoli in bowls. Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce before serving.
