Description

This dish features tender pieces of chicken sautéed with broccoli and tomatoes, enhanced with creole seasoning and melted cheese for a delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pounds boneless chicken breasts (chopped into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 teaspoons creole seasoning
  • 0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 broccoli crowns (chopped into florets)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 0 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 0 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0 cup half and half
  • 0 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Season chicken pieces with creole seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add to the hot skillet and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and mostly cooked through.
  3. Add broccoli florets and grape tomatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp and tomatoes begin to soften.
  5. Stir in half and half, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by mozzarella cheese. Do not stir.
  7. Allow cheese to melt completely into a bubbly, golden layer, then remove from heat. Let sit for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken slightly.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate chicken in creole seasoning for an hour before cooking.
  • Serve with rice or pasta for a complete meal.
