Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter. Pour in the chicken broth and cover the skillet. Let the broccoli steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Step 5
Uncover the skillet and stir in the lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the broccoli. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet again, and let everything heat through for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Before serving, give everything a good stir to coat the chicken and broccoli in the garlic butter sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
