Description
Indulge in this rich and creamy chicken and broccoli dish that combines tender chicken with vibrant broccoli in a luscious sauce, perfect for cozy family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and break the broccoli into florets.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, season the diced chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and fresh broccoli florets. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli turns vibrant green while remaining crisp.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, then sprinkle in grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine all ingredients, allowing it to simmer gently for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Taste your creamy mixture and adjust with additional salt or pepper as needed. For a cheesier flavor, add more Parmesan at this stage.
- Transfer onto plates or serve family-style from the pan, drizzling any remaining sauce over servings for an extra touch of richness.
