# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and pat dry. Rub chicken lightly with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional spices such as paprika or Italian seasoning.
02 -
Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden with grill marks and internal temperature reaches 75°C. Rest chicken for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
03 -
Steam fresh broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, blanch in boiling water and immediately chill to maintain bright green color.
04 -
In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust garlic and lemon juice to taste.
05 -
Layer grilled chicken slices over steamed broccoli in a serving bowl. Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs or chili flakes if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C for safe consumption.
02 -
Blanching broccoli followed by ice water bath helps retain its vibrant green color and crispness.
