Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 cups Broccoli (Fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Grape Tomatoes (Choose firm, brightly colored)
- 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (Roasted red peppers can be a substitute)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Substitute with half-and-half if needed)

- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning (Can substitute fresh herbs)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (Shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Can use avocado oil)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the boneless, skinless chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it on a plate to rest while you prepare the veggies.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and fresh broccoli. Sauté for 3 minutes until the garlic is aromatic and the broccoli is bright green.
- Toss in the grape tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst and release their juices.
- Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, allowing the sauce to thicken and bubble for about 2 minutes, creating a luscious texture.
- Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s well-coated with the creamy sauce and veggies. Let it simmer for 3 more minutes to absorb all the fabulous flavors.
- Top your dish with shredded Parmesan cheese, letting it melt beautifully into the creamy sauce before serving.
