Notes
- You can use chicken breast instead of thighs for this dish, cooking time may vary!
- If you prefer, you don’t need to use heavy cream! You can substitute coconut cream or a lower fat content cream/milk in order to lessen the fat percentage in this dish.
- Adding any assortment of extra vegetables; mushrooms, kale, butternut squash, spinach etc. is easily going to make this dish more healthy and give you any extra nutrients you might be looking for!
- Stored in a sealed airtight container this chicken broccoli will last in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
- To extend the shelf life of your chicken broccoli, I recommend putting it in the freezer, stored in a sealed airtight container. It will last up to 4 months frozen.
