Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.

Step 2
Add the lime juice and toss everything together until the chicken is well coated.
Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours if you want even more flavor.

Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.

Step 4
Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, steam or roast the broccoli until tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7
To assemble, divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls.

Step 8
Top each bowl with steamed broccoli and sliced chicken.

Step 9
Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.

Step 10
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness
