Preparation
1
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, then slice or dice into bite-sized pieces.
3
While the chicken cooks, steam or lightly boil the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain well.
4
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the light cream cheese and chicken broth, whisking constantly until the cream cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce.
5
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
6
Add the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli to the sauce, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately.
