Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 4 to 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 10.5 oz 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 to 3 cups chopped broccoli
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until beautifully browned. Remove the chicken from the pan, cover it, and keep it warm.
  • In the same pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden.
  • Whisk in the condensed cream of chicken soup and water. Bring the mixture to a hot and bubbly simmer, then turn the heat down to low.
  • Return the chicken and the chopped broccoli back into the pan.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over rice or pasta with a side of lemon wedges.
