1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Ensure they’re tender by cooking evenly.
1 tsp Kosher Salt Enhances overall flavor; season to taste.
1 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper Adjust according to your preference.
0.5 tsp Paprika Adds a hint of sweetness and color.

4 tbsp Butter Provides richness and helps brown the chicken.
4-5 cloves Garlic (minced) Infuses the dish with aromatic flavor.
1 can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup Forms the creamy base; can swap with Greek yogurt.
tbsp Water Adjusts sauce consistency as needed.

Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning your boneless, skinless chicken breasts with kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and paprika.
Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken and brown it for about 5 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and melt it. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant—about 1 minute.
Create the Sauce: Whisk in the condensed cream of chicken soup and a splash of water, stirring until it bubbles gently.
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned chicken to the skillet, add the chopped broccoli, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes until cooked through.
Serve and Garnish: Serve warm over rice or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

For a refreshing finish, squeeze lemon juice over the dish.
