Description
A cozy and comforting bowl of grilled chicken and broccoli, drenched in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless (skinless) chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, letting the flavors soak in.
- Preheat your grill and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until beautifully golden and cooked through.
- While the chicken is grilling, heat your skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the broccoli florets until they are tender and vibrant green.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer while stirring occasionally. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season the garlic sauce with salt and pepper to taste for that extra depth of flavor.
- Once the chicken is done, slice it into delectable pieces and assemble your bowls with broccoli and that luscious creamy garlic sauce drizzled over the top.
- Serve hot, and enjoy the comforting warmth and flavor that comes from your creation!
Notes
Make-ahead chicken and creamy sauce can be refrigerated for reheating. Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or plant-based cream for lighter options.
