A delicious and flavorful Low-Carb Tuscan Chicken dish bursting with the freshness of broccoli, juicy grape tomatoes, and melted cheese, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 tsp Creole seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 broccoli crowns, chopped
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Instructions

  1. Add the extra virgin olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken with Creole seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder, then place it in the pan.
  3. Sauté the chicken for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through.
  4. Add the chopped broccoli and grape tomatoes to the pan, stirring to combine.
  5. Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  6. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli tenderizes and the tomatoes soften.
  7. Pour in the half and half, mixing it well with the other ingredients.
  8. Top the dish with shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt before removing the skillet from heat.

Notes

For best results, ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken for a proper sear. Adjust seasoning to taste.
