Equipment
- 1 large skillet or Dutch oven
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 lid for the skillet or Dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

- Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to warm the broccoli through.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
- For an extra kick, consider adding some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
