How to Make Chicken With Broccoli And Cheese

  1. Season chicken pieces generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Preheat a large heavy skillet or electric skillet to medium-high heat.
  3. Add olive oil to the pan. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for approximately 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
  6. Stir in the can of cheddar cheese soup until smooth.
  7. Add the cooked chicken and broccoli florets to the pan.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  9. Uncover the pan, increase heat to medium, and stir in the shredded Swiss cheese. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Stir in half-and-half (optional) for a creamier sauce.
  11. Serve the creamy chicken and broccoli over cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!
