Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  2. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

  1. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

  2. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side (or until internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C).

  3. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken longer – The flavors intensify if you let it sit overnight.

  • Use fresh garlic in the sauce – It enhances the creamy, rich taste.

  • Grill at medium-high heat – This ensures a juicy, golden-brown finish.
