Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic minced
0.5 cup mushrooms finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
2 cups broccoli florets
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle Parmesan on top and return to oven until crisp.
3. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
4. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, sauté until soft. Lower heat and add heavy cream, stirring continuously.
5. Stir in Parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer gently until thickened.
6. Slice grilled chicken and plate with Alfredo sauce and crispy broccoli. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Let the chicken rest after cooking to seal in juices and improve texture.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, richer Alfredo sauce.
For extra sauce, double the cream and cheese components—you won’t regret it!
