Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the lime juice and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.

- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa between two bowls. Top with the steamed broccoli and sliced chicken. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
