Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
  2. While the chicken is grilling, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Prepare your choice of grains according to package instructions. Typically, this will take about 15-20 minutes.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add heavy cream and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  5. To assemble, start with a base of warm grains, then top with sliced grilled chicken and roasted broccoli. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with herbs.
