Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Creating your Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Skillet is easy when following these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5. Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring them in with the garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are vibrant and slightly tender.
6. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Then add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
7. Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, mixing it with the broccoli and sauce.
8. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Simmer: Let the skillet simmer for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

These steps will surely guide you toward creating an incredible meal that everyone will love.
