Creating the Creamy Garlic Chicken and Broccoli Skillet is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
