Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless chicken breasts
- 1.5 tsp creole seasoning
- 2 crowns broccoli Chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 0.5 cup half-and-half
- 0.25 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.75 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- a pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chopped chicken with creole seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add it to the skillet, cooking for about 10 minutes until fully cooked.
- Stir in chopped broccoli, grape tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes; cook for an additional 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Lower the heat and mix in half-and-half. Top with parmesan and mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt before serving.
Notes
Consider marinating the chicken for a few hours before cooking to enhance the flavors. Experiment with adding other low-carb vegetables, such as zucchini or spinach, to the mix. For a more intense flavor, try adding fresh herbs like basil or thyme at the end of cooking. For a dairy-free version, substitute the half-and-half with coconut cream and skip the cheeses, or use a plant-based cheese alternative. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
