📝 Ingredients

• 2/3 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, sliced thinly
• 3 tbsp Olive oil, divided
• 8 cups Broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup Yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 1/4 cups Chicken stock
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese + more for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large skillet with a fitted lid, heat 1 tbsp olive oil to medium-high heat. Add 4 cups of the broccoli florets to the skillet into an even layer. Brown on both sides for about 2 minutes each and then stir to cook making sure all the florets are golden brown. Remove florets from the skillet and place in a large bowl.
2. 2In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and repeat the process with the remaining 4 cups of broccoli florets. Remove from the skillet and set aside in the broccoli reserved bowl.
3. 3Next, add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet followed by the yellow onion. Cook the onion until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the sun dried tomatoes and garlic. Cook for another few minutes.
4. 4Add in the reserved broccoli to the skillet followed by chicken stock, Italian seasoning, paprika, crushed red pepper, kosher salt, and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. This will help make the broccoli nice and tender. Remove the lid and stir in the cream and basil.
5. 5Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!
