Weight Watchers Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli

Chicken Alfredo, but with broccoli instead of pasta. Heck yeah! Delish!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup fat-free chicken broth
• 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the fresh broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
4. Pour in the fat-free chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
5. Stir in the fat-free half-and-half, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and the cheese is fully melted.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
