Broccoli Cheddar Garlic Potatoes with Chicken

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR GARLIC POTATOES WITH CHICKEN

24 oz red potatoes
2 lbs frozen broccoli
1 stick butter
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
Garlic powder
24 oz chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
8 oz sharp cheddar
4 oz (by weight) heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook and chop potatoes (I use the baked potatoes setting on my microwave). Cook and drain broccoli (I use my microwave for this also). Combine potatoes and broccoli in a large container.

Melt butter with olive oil in a skillet (I use cast iron). Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Saute chicken until cooked through and browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from pan into a separate bowl. Pour liquid in pan into potatoes/broccoli and mix well.

In another bowl, melt cheddar and cream until it forms a sauce (I use 30% power in the microwave, stirring every 1-2 minutes).

To serve, you can layer the components, or mix them all together in the large container. 

This made 4 large servings for us, with a couple oz of chicken left over.
