- The Marinade: In a large bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder. Let it sit for 10 minutes to “regulate” the flavors.

- The Veggies: While the chicken cooks, steam your broccoli florets for 4 minutes until bright green.
- The Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Add a splash of water if needed to reach a classy look drizzle consistency.
- The Assembly: Divide the broccoli and chicken into bowls. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce and top with red pepper flakes for a soooo good kick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Breasts or Thighs?
Chicken breasts are leaner, but thighs stay soooo good and juicy even when reheated. Either follows the “regulations” perfectly!
Can I use frozen broccoli?
Yes! Just ensure you drain any excess water after steaming so it doesn’t water down your classy look garlic sauce.
How do I stop the garlic from being too sharp?
If you prefer a milder sauce, sauté the minced garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil for 30 seconds before whisking it into the yogurt!
