1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let it rest.
2
Cook the Broccoli
In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover and steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still bright green. Remove from heat.
3
Prepare the Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Combine Ingredients
Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the garlic and broccoli. Add the basil pesto and mix well to combine all the flavors. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
5
Serve
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your uplifting dish!
