Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    Cook the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and a splash of the chicken broth. Cover with a lid and steam for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.

      Make the Sauce: Lower the heat to medium, and add the remaining chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

        Cheesy Goodness: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy.

          Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it with the creamy cheese sauce. Let it cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

            Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Skillet Dinner hot!
