Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Notes
