Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Broccoli is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and slightly tender.
5. Make the Garlic Butter: Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add lemon juice and toss everything together to coat the chicken and broccoli in the garlic butter.
7. Cook Together: Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
