Creamy broccoli chicken is a one-pot wonder! In about an hour, you’ll be eating gourmet. And, imagine, less cleanup! Big bonus points!

Broccoli Chicken Bake

One skillet. Healthy ingredients. Chicken. Broccoli. And, a few other things. You’re going to rave about this recipe!

Broccoli and Chicken

Broccoli is such a glorious vegetable. Eaten raw or cooked, it’s a great source of fiber and protein. And, it’s got an array of fabulous minerals and vitamins, A, C, E, K and B including folic acid, that are just great for your body. 

Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This recipe is kind of like a casserole, but I wouldn’t call it a casserole. It’s more like a braised bake of chicken. After the chicken is close to being done, you’re going to add the broccoli and other vegetables. All you want them to do is steam in the hot bubbly sauce. 

Broccoli Chicken

It doesn’t take long for these vegetables to steam and then the finishing touch is to turn on the broiler to get a golden brown char on the chicken and broccoli. If you want just the chicken, then do this browning prior to putting in the vegetables to steam. 

Broccoli Chicken Pasta

It’s perfect to serve this dish as is. But, if you want something to pour it over, then there’s nothing better than preparing your favorite pasta noodles or maybe rice. 

Easy Chicken Recipes for Two

What I really love about this recipe is that it’s an easy chicken dish for two. Since my bone in skin on chicken breasts were quite large, we had enough for the two of us, plus leftovers for another meal. The recipe does make a nice hearty gravy, too. 

And, you can see from the way I sliced the larger thick chicken breasts, substantial slices of chicken could be served. 

Creamy Chicken Recipes Easy

Creamy chicken without the broccoli and vegetables is another variation of this recipe. Yes, if you just want to make an easy creamy chicken, then follow the recipe but don’t add the veggies. 

I’m always looking for new seasoning mixtures, too. And, this one by my dear foodie friend, Kita, of Girl Carnivore is perfect for so many poultry dishes. It’s full of flavor and the aromas are divine! My friends over at Spiceology sure do have some crazy good mixtures. And, what I love about them is that they’re designed and curated by foodie peeps of mine! 

Creamy Chicken

And, if you want to add potatoes to this creamy chicken, then, again, you’ll do that after the chicken has cooked about midway through. If your potato chunks are big bite size, it will take probably at least 20 minutes to cook. Be sure to snuggle these potatoes, and I’d highly recommend the Yukon gold potato variety, into the gravy sauce.
