  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until bubbly; add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened.
  5. Layer cooked grains in serving dishes, top with sliced grilled chicken and roasted broccoli, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired.
