Ingredients
2 lb boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil divided
4-5 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 cup almond milk
1 tbsp gluten-free flour
1 medium broccoli head chopped (about 3 cups)
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Lemon wedges optional to serve
Instructions
1. Rub the chicken with the seasonings on all sides.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until
golden-brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside and cover to
keep warm.
3. In a small bowl whisk the almond milk and flour until smooth.
4. To the same pan heat the remaining oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for up
to 1 minute.
5. Pour in the almond milk mixture and stir; you should see the sauce getting thicker almost
immediately as it heats up.
6. Add broccoli and cook for 6-8 minutes, or just until tender. Return the chicken back to the
pan and continue to cook for a couple of minutes to heat up.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
