Notes
- Keep leftover bowls fresh in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, making healthy meal prep a breeze.
- Gently reheat individual servings in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture in the chicken and prevent broccoli from overcooking.
- For a heartier meal, serve these vibrant bowls over a bed of fluffy quinoa, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice to soak up every drop of that delicious garlic sauce.
- When grilling, avoid overcrowding your pan or grill grates; cook in batches to ensure beautiful char on both the chicken and broccoli, preventing steaming and promoting delicious crispy edges.
