Making the Low-Carb Tuscan Chicken & Broccoli Bake is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, layer the sautéed broccoli at the bottom. Place the browned chicken on top. Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken evenly.
6. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
