  3. Place the seasoned chicken on the hot grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side.

  5. In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Fluff your cooked rice or quinoa in a serving bowl.
  7. Start layering your bowls with a scoop of rice as the base, then add sliced grilled chicken and broccoli.
  8. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli layers, and serve with lime wedges.
