How to Make Chicken With Broccoli And Garlic Sauce 5 Points
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a plate and season generously with 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 2 minced cloves of garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Add 1 large head of broccoli florets (about 2 cups) to the skillet, cover, and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
- Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet with the chicken and broccoli.
- Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately over 1 1/2 cups cooked rice.
- Yields approximately 2 servings.
