Tender and juicy chicken breast cooked with broccoli on a skillet. Easy to make and ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free flour
  • 1 medium broccoli head (chopped (about 3 cups))
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Lemon wedges (optional to serve)

Directions

  1. 1

    Rub the chicken with the seasonings on all sides.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden-brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl whisk the almond milk and flour until smooth.

  4. 4

    To the same pan heat the remaining oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for up to 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Pour in the almond milk mixture and stir; you should see the sauce getting thicker almost immediately as it heats up.

  6. 6

    Add broccoli and cook for 6-8 minutes, or just until tender. Return the chicken back to the pan and continue to cook for a couple of minutes to heat up.

  7. 7

    Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
