Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 cups broccoli (chopped)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method
 

Cooking Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  3. Take the chicken out of the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Let it rest while you prepare the vegetables.
Prepare Vegetables
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and broccoli. Sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant and the broccoli starts to soften.
  2. Toss in the halved grape tomatoes and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to burst and release their juices.
Make the Sauce
  1. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, stirring gently until the sauce thickens slightly and is bubbly, about 2 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the chicken back to the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce and vegetables. Allow everything to simmer together for another 3 minutes.
  2. Top the dish with shredded Parmesan cheese, letting it melt into the creamy goodness before serving.

Notes

Serve this dish hot directly from the skillet. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal. Garnish with fresh basil or extra Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
