Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound Boneless Chicken Thighs Juicy and flavorful; can substitute with chicken breasts.

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups Broccoli Fresh is ideal, but frozen works as well.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced for the richest taste.

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can substitute with half-and-half or Greek yogurt.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Opt for low-sodium for a healthier choice.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Customize your own mix of dried herbs.
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Optional; nutritional yeast can be a dairy-free alternative.

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for sautéing.
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Omit for a dairy-free version.

Instructions

Directions

  • Start by cutting the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Chop the broccoli into florets and mince the garlic.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Move the chicken to one side of the pan. Melt butter in the empty space, add minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Toss in the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the heavy cream. Add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese, letting it simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper, or more cheese as desired.
  • Once combined and the sauce is rich, remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
