List of Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 6 thighs, whatever part you prefer)
2 tbl olive oil
1 tbl butter
2 cloves crushed garlic
salt & pepper to taste
1 to 2 cups of chopped broccoli, slightly steamed or blanched
1 1/4 c. cream
1/2 c. parmesean cheese
1/4 c. asiago cheese (or just use more parm cheese)
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1. Cut up chicken into small cubes
2. Heat oil, butter and garlic in large sautee pan over medium high heat.
3. Add chicken to hot oil mixture, season w/ salt and pepper.
4. When chicken is cooked, remove from pan, let the juices that were created reduce a little.
5. Add cream bring it to a slight boil and simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken and slightly reduce. Stir a few times to make sure it's mixed w/ the pan drippings and to prevent scortching.
6. Add cheeses and mix and continue to simmer, stirring constantly. If you feel like the sauce is reducing more than you'd like, add more cream and add more cheese. (It's just a matter of preference for how cheesy/saucey you want it)
7. Season w/ nutmeg, salt and pepper.
8. Add the broccoli, mix it together and let that cook for about 2 minutes. Then add chicken and incorporate it all together.
9. Simmer for just a few minutes more.Serve over sauteed zucchini noodles or just eat it out of a bowl. Be sure to sprinkle more cheese on top!!
