Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once the cream is hot, gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet along with the broccoli. Toss everything together to coat with the Alfredo sauce.
Allow the dish to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
