How to Make Cheesy Broccoli And Chicken Skillet Dinner

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Season 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning and dredge in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
  3. Gently shake off excess flour and carefully add chicken to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 5-8 minutes, until browned on all sides but still slightly pink inside.
  4. (Optional) Add 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers to the skillet and wilt for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup of milk (or water), and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth.
  6. Pour soup mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. Add 2 cups of broccoli florets (fresh or frozen) and (optional) 1 cup of sliced mushrooms.
  9. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp. Stir occasionally.
  10. Serve hot over your favorite side dish, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or couscous.
