Keto Chicken And Broccoli With Olive Oil

Ingredients

¾ pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
6 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cup Broccoli Florets
5 clove Garlic
½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound with a mallet until they are uniform thickness. Cut the breasts into cubes about ¾-1” in size.

2. Heat 3 tbsp. olive oil in a stainless pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, dice the garlic and add it to the pan.

3. Once the garlic is fragrant, add in the chicken cubes. Allow the chicken to sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip over.

4. Once the garlic is fragrant, add in the chicken cubes. Allow the chicken to sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip over.

5. Add the remaining 3 Tbsp. olive oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the broccoli florets and toss so they are coated in the olive oil. Allow to brown for a few minutes, add half of the remaining salt and give the pan a shake to loosen up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

6. Once the broccoli begins to soften, add the chicken back to the pan, season with the remaining salt and give a stir. Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook for a few minutes until the broccoli is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
