# What You'll Need:

→ Protein & Vegetables

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 cups broccoli florets

→ Fats & Oils

03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 tablespoon butter

→ Sauce

05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

# Directions:

01 - Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
02 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest.

04 - In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown.
05 - Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and reduce heat to low. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Slice the grilled chicken breasts into serving-sized pieces.
07 - Divide broccoli and sliced chicken between two serving bowls. Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce.
08 - Serve immediately while still hot.
