Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Patting the chicken dry with a paper towel before seasoning helps it brown better.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Uns 2 min
3
Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook until golden on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
Uns 6 min
Nota de cuina: The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked through at this stage, as it will finish cooking in the sauce.
4
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the same skillet, and allow it to melt.
Uns 1 min
5
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Uns 4 min
6
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Be careful not to burn the garlic, which can make the dish taste bitter.
7
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute to form a paste.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: This step cooks out the raw flour taste and is essential for a thick, smooth sauce.
8
Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth until the mixture is completely smooth.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Pouring the liquid in gradually while whisking prevents lumps from forming.
9
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Using low heat to melt the cheese prevents the sauce from becoming grainy or separating.
10
Return the seared chicken and add the broccoli florets to the skillet.
Uns 1 min
11
Stir to coat everything in the sauce, then cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender-crisp.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Check the broccoli at 8 minutes; cook longer if you prefer it softer.
12
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed, then serve hot, topped with optional cherry tomatoes.
