Instructions

1 ✓

Slice the chicken into strips, season, and quickly sear in a skillet with oil.

Tip: You don't need to cook it through, just get a nice sear. This seals in juices so it doesn't dry out in the oven.
2 ✓

Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and shock in cold water.

Tip: The cold water shock stops cooking and locks in the chlorophyll, keeping the broccoli bright green.
3 ✓

Layer the chicken and broccoli in a baking dish. Mix the sour cream with crushed garlic, salt, and pepper, and pour over the top.

Tip: The sour cream sauce will steam the chicken as it bakes.
4 ✓

Top with shredded cheese and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and browned.

Tip: The cheese fat and sour cream create a rich, creamy emulsion.

Recipe FAQ

The dish is too watery.
You didn't drain the broccoli well enough, or used frozen broccoli without thawing it first. Vegetables release water when baked.
