Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken pieces and drizzle on the mixed spices. Toss to coat each piece thoroughly.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Assembly
- Remove the skillet from the heat and pour about ½ cup of Alfredo sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish (9x13) and spread it evenly.
- Add half the cooked chicken and sprinkle on the steamed broccoli. Distribute 1 cup of Alfredo sauce over the top, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
- For the second layer, add the remaining chicken, broccoli, and top with the rest of the Alfredo sauce and another cup of mozzarella cheese.
Broiling
- Preheat the broiler to low and place the baking dish under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
Garnishing
- Optionally, top with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Quality matters: Use high-quality chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture. Customize the recipe with additional low-carb veggies like spinach or zucchini.
