Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and 0.5 cup chicken broth. Stir and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.

  5. Step 5

    Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot.
