instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and chop the broccoli into florets. Mince the garlic.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

    3

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Cook the chicken for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

    4

    While the chicken is cooking, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for about 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

    5

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli to the skillet, and mix well. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

    6

    Finally, remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese until melted.

    7

    Serve immediately for a warm, nutritious meal.
