Ingredients:

2 lb boneless chicken breasts

Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 tbsp olive oil divided

4-5 cloves garlic minced

1 1/2 cup almond milk

1 tbsp gluten-free flour

1 medium broccoli head chopped (about 3 cups)

2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Lemon wedges optional to serve

Method:

Rub the chicken with the seasonings on all sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden-brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

In a small bowl whisk the almond milk and flour until smooth. To the same pan heat the remaining oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for up to 1 minute. Pour in the almond milk mixture and stir; you should see the sauce getting thicker almost immediately as it heats up.

Add broccoli and cook for 6-8 minutes, or just until tender. Return the chicken back to the pan and continue to cook for a couple of minutes to heat up. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
