Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

        Make the Sauce: Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.

          Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat the chicken through.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and serve hot directly from the skillet. Enjoy your creamy chicken and broccoli bliss!
