– 3 tablespoons olive oil

Creating the Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce involves a few straightforward steps. Here’s how to do it:
1. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Grill Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Cook Broccoli: While the chicken grills, steam the broccoli florets until they are vibrant green and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Add Cream: Reduce heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir regularly for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Slice Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
9. Assemble Bowls: In your serving bowls, layer the steamed broccoli and sliced grilled chicken.
10. Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli.
11. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for added freshness and flavor.
