Broccoli Cheddar Chicken is a delicious and comforting dish, typically made by combining chicken, broccoli, and a rich cheddar cheese sauce. Here's a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets (steamed)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (optional)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
Instructions:
-
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Make the Cheese Sauce: In the same pan, melt butter (if using), then add the heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes. Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Combine with Broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets until tender, and then add them to the cheese sauce.
-
Assemble: Place the cooked chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spoon the broccoli and cheese sauce mixture over the chicken.
-
Optional Topping: If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your creamy, cheesy broccoli cheddar chicken with your favorite side dish like mashed potatoes or rice.
