📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare broccoli by washing and cutting into florets. Toss on a large baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  2. 2
    Pat chicken cubes dry. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. 3
    Place baking sheet with broccoli in the preheated oven to roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  4. 4
    While broccoli roasts, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. 5
    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until emulsified.
  6. 6
    Divide cooked chicken and roasted broccoli among four serving bowls. Drizzle generously with lemon-herb dressing. Garnish with any optional toppings (pumpkin seeds, herbs, cheese, avocado) and serve immediately.

💡 Notes

For meal prep, store chicken and broccoli in separate containers from the dressing. Reheat gently or enjoy cold. Feel free to swap chicken for firm tofu, tempeh, or salmon, and use other low-carb vegetables like Brussels sprouts or asparagus.
