  • Saute' both sides of the chicken until brown and cooked. (about 3-4 minutes each side) .Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • Add the garlic powder. Deglaze the pot by adding the chicken broth. Scrub the brown bits from the chicken from the bottom of the pot. The brown spots and bits from the chicken are packed with flavor. You want to keep this!
  • Add the almond milk, whipping cream, cream cheese, and butter to the pot. Stir until combined.
  • Stir in the broccoli and parmesan cheese.
  • Cook for 10 minutes or until the broccoli is soft and the sauce begins to thicken. Add the flour to the pot and stir. This will thicken the sauce. (If you would like a thicker sauce, add an additional tablespoon of flour.
