Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken breast

½ cup chimichurri sauce

1 cup cooked rice

1 medium red pepper, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

¼ cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice


Directions

1.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent the chicken from sticking during cooking.

2.

Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3.

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4.

In a mixing bowl, combine chimichurri sauce and cooked rice, stirring well to incorporate flavors evenly.

5.

On a separate pan, sauté sliced red pepper and broccoli florets with olive oil until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

6.

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create a flavorful garlic sauce.

7.

Slice the grilled chicken into strips and serve over the chimichurri rice with sautéed vegetables.

8.

Drizzle the prepared garlic sauce generously over the chicken and rice before serving.
