Cheesy Broccoli Chicken

Cheesy Broccoli Chicken is a comforting low-carb dish that combines tender chicken breasts, vibrant broccoli florets, and a rich cheese sauce. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that satisfies cravings without the carbs.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts - 300 grams
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 50 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
3. While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5 minutes, then set aside.
4. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika until well combined.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it in a baking dish. Top the chicken with the steamed broccoli, then spread the cheese mixture evenly over the broccoli and chicken.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
