Creamy Garlic Chicken & Broccoli Bowl
Ingredients
-
2 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
-
3 cups broccoli florets
-
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
-
1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper
-
1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
-
2 cloves garlic (minced)
-
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove and slice.
-
Steam the Broccoli: In the same pan or a separate steamer, lightly steam or sauté the broccoli florets until tender-crisp.
-
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the skillet, melt a little butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Assemble & Serve: Place the tender broccoli at the bottom of a serving bowl, top with the sliced seared chicken, and generously pour the rich creamy garlic sauce over the top.
