Meanwhile, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Gradually add water until desired consistency.
Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Assemble each bowl with rice or quinoa, grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with parsley.
