Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Fresh broccoli florets
- Fresh garlic cloves
- Heavy cream
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor.
- While the chicken is marinating, steam the broccoli florets until tender but still bright green, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, mixing until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- In a bowl, layer the sliced grilled chicken and steamed broccoli. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce. You can also add cooked rice or quinoa to make it a complete meal.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
