Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the cubed chicken to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, allowing them to melt into a creamy sauce.
  6. Fold in the blanched broccoli, mixing until well coated with the sauce.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Chef’s Tips
