🔥 Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
2. Roast the Crispy Parmesan Broccoli
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a lined baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes until edges are crispy and florets are tender.
3. Make the Avocado Mushroom Alfredo
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add mushrooms and garlic, sauté until tender and browned.
Add the avocado and mash into the pan until mostly smooth.
Pour in heavy cream, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add Parmesan, season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using). Stir until creamy and smooth.
4. Combine Chicken & Sauce
Lower heat. Nestle the grilled chicken slices into the Alfredo sauce.
Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top and cover the skillet for 2–3 minutes to melt and infuse the flavors.
5. Assemble & Serve
Plate crispy Parmesan broccoli.
Top with generous spoonfuls of the avocado mushroom Alfredo chicken.
Serve hot—and enjoy every vibrant, creamy, cheesy bite!
