Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded ½" thick )
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ cup chicken broth (more as needed)
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 ounces cream cheese (cubed)
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Steps
-
Place the chicken on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound to ½-inch thickness with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and basil.
-
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned. Flip over and brown for an additional 2 minutes.
-
Add the broth to the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add broccoli to the pan and cover. Cook covered for about 3-4 minutes or until tender crisp and chicken is cooked through (165°F).
-
Remove the broccoli and chicken, place on a serving plate, and lightly cover to keep warm.
-
Add the cream cheese to the pan and whisk until melted and creamy, adding more broth if needed. Whisk in the cheddar & parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
-
Spoon the cheese sauce over the chicken and broccoli and serve immediately.
