Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once the cream is hot, gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet along with the broccoli. Toss everything together to coat with the Alfredo sauce.
Step 7
Allow the dish to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
