Ingredients
- tablespoons butter to taste
- 3 cups chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups broccoli chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 pinch nutmeg optional
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the broccoli.
- Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Add Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Cook Broccoli: In a separate saucepan, blanch the chopped broccoli until bright green and just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet with the chicken, lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream, Parmesan, and nutmeg if using. Stir to combine and simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Combine and Bake: Add the drained broccoli to the chicken and sauce mixture. Transfer everything to a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly chicken and broccoli Alfredo.
