Dijon-Parmesan Chicken and Broccoli Bake

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

3.In a large oven-safe baking dish, drizzle the olive oil and spread it evenly across the bottom.

4.Place the chicken thighs in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Pour the creamy Dijon-Parmesan sauce over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece well.

5.Arrange the broccoli florets around the chicken in the baking dish, ensuring they are nestled in the sauce for flavor.

6.Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

7.After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the broccoli is tender.

8.Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
