Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp garlic sliced thinly
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup pesto sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

I typically use chicken already cooked and diced and pesto that is made to save time on this dish, but you can also do this easily from scratch.

    In a large skillet add your olive oil on medium heat and then your garlic and let it get aromatic

      Mix in your vegetables, tomatoes, and diced chicken and mix well

        Eventually add your pesto and mix the ingredients together, then add your chicken stock and let simmer.

          Add the parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste

            Take away from the heat and immediately serve into plates with more cheese if you want a cheesier topping.
