Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Toss broccoli florets in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until tender and crispy.
  3. Prepare your choice of grains according to the package instructions. Use broth instead of water for extra flavor. Keep warm for assembly.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Assemble your bowls with cooked grains at the bottom, topped with sliced grilled chicken, roasted broccoli, and drizzled with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs.
