Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the broccoli:
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Pour in the chicken broth and cover the pan. Let the broccoli steam for about 4-5 minutes until it’s tender but still bright green.
Make the creamy sauce:
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and dried thyme (if using). Mix well to combine, making a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Combine the chicken and broccoli:
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the creamy sauce over the top. Let everything simmer together for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately. This dish is great on its own or paired with a side like quinoa, rice, or mashed potatoes!
This creamy chicken and broccoli is a great healthy option for the family, packed with protein and veggies. It’s easy to make, and the creamy sauce adds so much flavor!
