Can I use frozen broccoli in grilled chicken broccoli bowls?

Yes, frozen broccoli is a convenient option. Just steam it according to the package directions before using. It still provides great texture and color, especially if you're short on time.

What can I use instead of Greek yogurt in the garlic sauce?

If you’re avoiding dairy, you can replace Greek yogurt with unsweetened plant-based yogurt or even cashew cream. Just make sure it’s thick and unsweetened to maintain the sauce’s integrity.

Can I make grilled chicken broccoli bowls ahead of time?

Absolutely. Grill the chicken and steam the broccoli in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers. When ready to serve, reheat and add the garlic sauce fresh to maintain that creamy texture.

1 teaspoon dried parsley
