Broccoli and Chicken in a Creamy Sauce Casserole

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, and creamy sauce. Mix well to ensure everything is coated.
6. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
8. Let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
