Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Season chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through.
  2. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 15–20 minutes until slightly crispy.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add grains. Follow package instructions, typically around 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain and fluff.
  4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Start with grains, layer sliced chicken and roasted broccoli on top, and drizzle creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with herbs.
