Instructions
- Place the chicken on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound to ½-inch thickness with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and basil.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned. Flip over and brown for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the broth to the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add broccoli to the pan and cover. Cook covered for about 3-4 minutes or until tender crisp and chicken is cooked through (165°F).
- Remove the broccoli and chicken, place on a serving plate, and lightly cover to keep warm.
- Add the cream cheese to the pan and whisk until melted and creamy, adding more broth if needed. Whisk in the cheddar & parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the cheese sauce over the chicken and broccoli and serve immediately.
