INGREDIENTS

1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half horizontally

1½ cups of low sodium or no sodium chicken broth

1 head of fresh broccoli

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

½ tsp salt

1 tsp onion powder

¾ tsp black pepper, divided

DIRECTIONS

Clean and cut off tops of broccoli, set aside.

Sprinkle chicken breasts with onion powder and ½ tsp of black pepper.

Add olive oil to a pan, add crushed garlic and cook at medium to high heat stirring frequently to keep from burning. Once garlic is cooked, reduce heat to medium and add chicken breasts. Brown the chicken breasts on each side and cook until the temperature of the fattest part of the breast is 165 degrees.

Remove the chicken and add chicken broth to pan, then add broccoli, ½ tsp salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper, cover and cook for approximately 5 minutes until broccoli is tender. Add chicken back in for a few minutes, then enjoy!

(Optional: Serve over brown rice)
