🧂 Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Bowl
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets, washed
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (optional for flavor boost)
Ingredient Notes (Why These Ingredients Work)
- Chicken Breast: Lean protein that keeps this bowl filling, low-carb, and nutritious.
- Broccoli: Packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants — ideal for keto since it’s low in net carbs.
- Olive/Avocado Oil: Healthy fats that support ketosis and add rich flavor.
- Seasonings: A simple blend that brings bold flavor without sugar or carbs.
- Butter: Adds richness and enhances flavor, especially for keto eaters who need healthy fats.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 1. Prep the Chicken
Pat the chicken dry, then rub both sides with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
🍳 2. Grill the Chicken
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden with grill marks and fully cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest before slicing.
🥦 3. Cook the Broccoli
Steam or sauté the broccoli until tender but still bright green. For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly crisp yet tender.
🥗 4. Assemble the Bowls
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Divide broccoli into bowls, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle a little olive oil, melted butter, or keto-friendly dressing if desired.
😍 5. Serve Warm
Enjoy immediately while warm for the best flavor!
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
This bowl is delicious as is, but here are some tasty additions:

💡 Pro Tips & Variations

- Want spice? Add cayenne, chili flakes, or a dash of hot sauce.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days — reheat gently to keep chicken juicy.
🧊 Storage Information
- Refrigerator: Store in airtight meal prep containers for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze chicken only (not broccoli) for up to 2 months.
- Reheating Tip: Warm in a skillet for best texture or microwave covered to avoid drying out.
