Equipment

  • 10.25-inch oven-safe skillet (e.g., cast-iron skillet)
  • Wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Microwave or stovetop pot (for steaming broccoli)
  • Oven with broiler function

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp butter divided
  • 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp chicken broth
  • 12 oz steam bag of frozen broccoli
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup pepper jack cheese grated
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1/4 tsp basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the broiler on your oven.
  • Heat 1 tbsp butter in an oven-safe skillet and sear the seasoned chicken until browned on both sides. Cover and simmer on low until cooked through, then remove the chicken and set aside.
    An empty cast-iron skillet is placed on a white marble cooktop while the oven's broiler preheats in the background. The setup is clean and simple, marking the start of the recipe preparation.
  • Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping flavorful bits from the bottom.
    Slices of chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper, are seared to a light golden brown in a cast-iron skillet on the white marble cooktop. A pat of melting butter adds a glistening texture, enhancing the sizzling appearance of the dish.
  • Steam broccoli following package instructions or on the stove in boiling water, then drain.
    Chicken broth is poured into the cast-iron skillet on the white marble cooktop, deglazing the pan. Golden-brown bits from the chicken dissolve into the broth, creating a flavorful base for the dish.
  • Add 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant.
    Bright green broccoli florets steam in a small pot on the white marble cooktop. A gentle mist of steam rises, emphasizing the freshness of the vegetables. The setup is minimal, keeping the focus on the broccoli.
  • Stir in cream cheese, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Whisk until the sauce thickens.
    Minced garlic sizzles in melted butter in a cast-iron skillet on the white marble cooktop. The garlic is lightly golden and fragrant, creating a rich aromatic base for the dish.
  • Add parmesan and pepper jack cheeses, whisking until melted and smooth.
    Softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and Italian seasoning are whisked together in a cast-iron skillet on the white marble cooktop. The pale white sauce is beginning to thicken, with a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Combine the chicken and broccoli with the sauce, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese and basil on top.
    Grated parmesan and pepper jack cheeses are whisked into the sauce, creating a rich, creamy mixture. The golden hints of melted cheese glisten in the skillet, which is placed on the white marble cooktop with a clean, uncluttered background.
  • Broil the dish in the oven for 1-2 minutes until the cheese bubbles.
    Golden-browned chicken pieces and vibrant green broccoli florets are mixed into the creamy cheese sauce in the skillet. The rich, thick sauce evenly coats the ingredients, creating a cohesive dish on the white marble cooktop.
  • Serve immediately.
    The skillet is topped with a generous layer of grated mozzarella cheese and a light sprinkle of fresh basil. The white mozzarella is evenly distributed, ready to melt, while the skillet sits on the white marble cooktop with a clean and simple setup.
