Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Wash the broccoli, cut into bite‑sized florets, and boil in salted water until fork‑tender, about 5–6 minutes; drain well.
- Mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Coarsely grate the cheddar and set it aside.
- Spread the drained broccoli into a baking dish.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the broccoli and top with the grated cheddar, then bake for 10 minutes.
- While the broccoli bakes, heat a skillet over medium‑high heat and pat the chicken breasts dry; season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Add virgin coconut oil to the skillet and swirl to coat; cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- To serve, divide the broccoli bake and the chicken between plates.
Two tips
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- If mayo isn’t available, substitute with an extra tablespoon of yogurt; serve with a side of steamed rice if desired.
