Description
A heartwarming weeknight dinner featuring grilled chicken and tender broccoli, drizzled with creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless (skinless) chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place the chicken on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and perfectly charred.
- While the chicken is grilling, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the broccoli florets until they are tender and vibrant in color.
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over low heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into thin strips.
- Assemble your bowls: start with a generous helping of sautéed broccoli, top it with sliced grilled chicken, and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
- Serve hot and enjoy the delightful harmony of flavors!
