Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips, around 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken strips. Season them with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to become tender. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside with the chicken.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds till it becomes fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until it's completely melted and the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Season the sauce with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 8

Return the chicken and broccoli to the pan, tossing them in the Alfredo sauce to coat well. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy this delicious low-carb meal.
