Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots and broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until the flour is well incorporated.

Step 7

Gradually add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring continuously to combine with the flour mixture.

Step 8

Once the broth is well mixed and starts to thicken, pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, along with any juices from the plate.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
