Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt to taste

Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast into strips, season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the chicken until golden brown, then set aside.
