⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Start by preheating a skillet over medium-high heat and adding 1 tbsp of olive oil. The oil should shimmer before adding any ingredients, ensuring it's hot enough to sear the chicken properly.
  2. 2.
    Add the 6 oz sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Spread the pieces out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. To check for doneness, the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  3. 3.
    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Add the broccoli florets directly to the same skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes until they turn vibrant green and just tender, maintaining a slight crunch.
  4. 4.
    Add the cherry tomatoes to the broccoli, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices, creating a natural sauce that coats the vegetables.
  5. 5.
    Return the chicken to the skillet, combining it with the vegetables. Sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese over the top. Stir everything together gently, allowing the feta to melt slightly and mix with the juices in the pan, creating a flavorful coating. Serve hot.
