Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 1/2 tsp creole seasoning

1/2 tsp onion powder

3/4 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 broccoli crowns, chopped

1 cup grape tomatoes

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 cup half-and-half

1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with creole seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add chicken to the skillet and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  2. Add Vegetables and Seasonings:
    Stir in broccoli, grape tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce:
    Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in half-and-half. Stir to combine with chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle parmesan and mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Cover skillet and let cheese melt for 2–3 minutes until creamy and bubbly.
  4. Serve:
    Remove from heat and serve warm. Can be paired with a fresh salad or enjoyed on its own for a satisfying low-carb meal.

Notes

  • Spice Level: Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to taste if you prefer a milder or spicier dish.
