Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Allow to rest before slicing.
  2. While the chicken is grilling, bring a pot of water to a boil and place a steamer basket over it. Add broccoli florets, cover, and steam for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender yet crisp.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting water for thickness.
  4. In four bowls, distribute the cooked brown rice or quinoa. Top with slices of grilled chicken and steamed broccoli. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over each bowl before serving.
