Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned, while stirring occasionally. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir them with the garlic for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and start to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to allow the broccoli to become tender.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir everything together. Allow the mixture to cook for another 5-6 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious low carb broccoli chicken.
