Description
Make a complete, balanced skillet meal with tender chicken, a garlic cream sauce, and bright broccoli florets cooked in one pan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless chicken
- Kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour
- 1 medium broccoli head, chopped (about 3 cups)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges, optional to serve
Instructions
- Rub the 2 pounds boneless chicken with kosher salt, ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning on all sides.
- Whisk the 1 1/2 cup almond milk and 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour in a small bowl until smooth. Set this mixture aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden-brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover it to keep it warm.
- To the same pan, add the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the 4-5 cloves of minced garlic and cook for up to 1 minute.
- Pour in the almond milk mixture and stir; the sauce will thicken as it heats.
- Add the 1 medium broccoli head florets and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Return the chicken to the pan and continue to cook for a couple of minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
Notes
- Broccoli brings color and texture contrast to the rich, creamy sauce.
- Cooking everything in one pan allows the flavors to build together simply.
