A quick and delicious chicken and broccoli dish with a flavorful Catalina dressing sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (4-ounces each) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • to taste salt and fresh ground pepper
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 4 to 5 cups broccoli florets
  • ½ cup Catalina salad dressing
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium lite soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped cashews

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken. Combine garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl, and rub the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Cook the chicken. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and minced garlic to the skillet; cook for 7 to 8 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. Stir around occasionally. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Steam the broccoli. Add water and broccoli to the skillet; cover and cook for 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  4. Make the sauce. Remove the lid and stir in Catalina salad dressing, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper.
  5. Put it all together. Add the prepared chicken back to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until heated through and bubbling. Remove from heat.
  6. Serve. Plate the chicken and broccoli, spoon some sauce over it, sprinkle with cashews, and serve. Optionally, you can serve this over rice.

Notes

  • This dish is great over rice for a heartier meal.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to suit your heat preference.
