Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 pound thin sliced chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
For the broccoli:
- 16 ounces broccoli
For the Alfredo sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan
Instructions
To make the chicken:
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
- When oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through.
To make the broccoli:
- While chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli on the stove or in the microwave until as tender as you'd like.
To make the sauce:
- Heat a sauce pan over medium heat and add the cream, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded Parmesan. Whisk until the cheese melts fully and the sauce is smooth.
- To serve, divide the broccoli between four plates and top with chicken. Drizzle with sauce.
Notes
Alfredo sauce is best eaten right after preparation. It does not store or reheat well as it tends to separate a bit.
If you'd like to add cream cheese to the sauce, stir up to 2 ounces of cream cheese in with the hot butter and cream until melted. Proceed with the Parmesan.
Nutrition information is based on the sauce, broccoli, and chicken. The carb count on just the sauce will be much lower.
