Before the cooking starts, it’s beneficial to prep everything. Mince your garlic and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Get your seasonings lined up. This process makes actual cooking much smoother. Plus, who doesn’t love the enchanting aroma of garlic wafting through the kitchen?

In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. While it's warming, season both sides of your chicken breasts with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. This adds a superb layer of taste.

Once the oil is shimmering, place the chicken in the pan. Let it sizzle for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer for precision; chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

After removing the chicken from the skillet, cover it with foil to keep it warm. Now comes the exciting part! In the same skillet, melt half of the butter over medium-low heat. Toss in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. You want to cook it just enough to release those garlicky flavors, and trust me, your kitchen will start to feel like an Italian trattoria.

Stir in the broccoli florets and add the chicken broth or water. Stir everything together, ensuring the broccoli gets a nice coating. Cover the skillet for about 3-4 minutes. This steaming step softens the broccoli while keeping its vibrant color—gotta love that pop of green!

After the broccoli has cooked, remove the lid and return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the remaining butter, adding Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Let it all mingle for another couple of minutes until the cheese is melty and the chicken is heated through. Season to taste and get ready for a culinary masterpiece.
