Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet along with the sautéed broccoli. Gently toss to coat everything in the Alfredo sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
