Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Season chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add to skillet and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add broccoli and cauliflower along with chicken broth. Cover and steam for 6–8 minutes until veggies are tender but not mushy.
  • Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a gentle simmer to slightly thicken the sauce.

Notes

Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra flavor. Pre-cut veggies can speed up prep. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
