1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter π§

π₯¦ Charred Broccolini:
1 large bunch (about 340g / ΒΎ lb) broccolini, tough ends trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced π§
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
π
Sauce: Sun-Dried Tomato Cajun Alfredo:
4 tbsp (ΒΌ cup) sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), drained and roughly chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter π§
3 cloves garlic, minced π§
350ml (1 Β½ cups) heavy cream
120ml (Β½ cup) chicken or vegetable broth
1 Β½ - 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste and spice level of your blend) πΆοΈ
240ml (1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese π§
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
β¨ Garnish (Optional):
Fresh parsley, finely chopped πΏ
Extra grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Prepare & Char Broccolini
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss the broccolini with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender-crisp and some florets are nicely charred. Keep warm.
Prepare Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Bites
While broccolini roasts, season the chicken bites with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned.
Reduce heat to low. Add 2 tbsp butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 60ml (ΒΌ cup) grated Parmesan cheese to the chicken. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant and chicken is coated in a buttery, garlicky, cheesy crust. Keep warm.
Prepare Sun-Dried Tomato Cajun Alfredo Sauce
In a separate large skillet or saucepan, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the remaining 3 cloves minced garlic and the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. SautΓ© for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in 350ml (1 Β½ cups) heavy cream and 120ml (Β½ cup) chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Stir in 1 Β½ - 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 240ml (1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and lusciously creamy. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of warm water or broth.
Assemble & Serve
To serve, you can either:
Serve separately: Spoon generous portions of the Sun-Dried Tomato Cajun Alfredo sauce onto plates. Place the Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Bites over the sauce, and arrange the Charred Broccolini alongside.
Combine lightly: Gently fold the chicken bites into the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. Arrange the charred broccolini on the side or over the top.
Garnish generously with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and savor every bite of this extraordinary, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying meal!
Tips for Success
Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes provide the best flavor and texture. Draining them well before chopping prevents excess oil in the sauce.
Broccolini Char: Don't be afraid to let the broccolini get some dark, almost black, spots β this is where the "charred" flavor comes from and adds a delicious smokiness.
Chicken Crust: Ensure your skillet is hot when searing the chicken, and reduce heat when adding the butter, garlic, and Parmesan to prevent burning the garlic while allowing the cheese to form a crispy crust.
Cajun Spice: Cajun seasoning blends vary in heat and salt content. Start with 1.5 tbsp and add more to taste, adjusting for your personal preference.
Freshly Grated Parmesan: Always recommended for the best texture and flavor in Alfredo sauce, as pre-shredded cheeses can make the sauce grainy.
Enjoy your amazing Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Bites with Sun-Dried Tomato Cajun Alfredo & Charred Broccolini!

Tips for Success
Pesto Quality: Use a good quality basil pesto (homemade or store-bought) for the chicken, as its flavor will be prominent.
Broccoli Crispiness: Ensure broccoli florets are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet for maximum crispiness. Don't overcrowd the pan.
Spicy Feta: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the feta whip to your preferred heat level. You can also add a pinch directly to the Alfredo base for more overall heat.
Feta Quality: Use good quality feta for the best flavor and creamy texture when whipped.
Salt Adjustment: Feta is naturally salty, so be cautious when adding additional salt to the Alfredo sauce. Taste frequently.
