Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch strips
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl or directly in a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and nutmeg.
  4. Pour the white sauce mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, spreading it evenly, then stir the broccoli florets into the sauce.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer on top of the sauce.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the chicken.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes; use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
