Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Broccoli

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover and steam for about 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place them on top of the steamed broccoli in the skillet.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the chicken and broccoli. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for a couple of minutes on low heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving. This dish can be served warm and pairs well with rice or bread.
