Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Place the chicken breasts into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
