Ingredients

1.5 pound thin skinless chicken breast
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 cup broccoli florets

Alfredo Sauce

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 ounce cream cheese
5 ounces Pamesan Cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (see notes)

Instructions

Alfredo sauce

In a small pot on medium high heat
Add butter then minced garlic. Once garlic has browned a little lower the heat to medium and add in the parmesan cheese and cream cheese. It will take about 5 minutes to fully melt both cheeses.
Once melted slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring while pouring and making sure it's coming together with the cheese. The thick pool will begin to thin out and resemble an actual sauce.
Remove from heat, add in chopped parsley. In a small bowl to the side add in salt, black pepper and xanthan gum. Mix them together. With the bowl in one hand and a whisk in the other pour in the seasoning and quickly whisk it in. Whisk for about 5 seconds. See notes below.
Lastly, taste for salt and pepper. Grate fresh nutmeg to taste or slowly add in ground nutmeg until desired flavor is reached.

Chicken & Broccoli

Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. And add italian seasoning
In a frying pan on medium/high heat add a little oil then place chicken in. When chicken is done remove from pan and lower heat to medium.
Add in broccoli florets and season with salt and pepper. Add more oil if pan is dry. Continue cooking until broccoli is softer with a little crunch or to your liking.
Once broccoli is down lower the heat to medium low and add back in the chicken with the Alfredo sauce and any noodles you plan to use. On a low heat continue stirring to allow the ingredients to absorb the flavors from the sauce before serving, about 5 minutes.
Plate chicken broccoli alfredo and garnish with freshly cracked black pepper, chopped parsley and parmesan cheese.

Notes

Xanthan gum does nothing for flavor. However, it keeps the sauce together when you go to reheat it. Mixing with the salt and pepper is important because if you add it alone xanthan gum will clump together. Mixing with something else and then quickly whisking prevents this. Once again, the xanthan gum is not for flavor but stabilization.
