Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Season chicken cubes with thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden but not fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add cream cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Whisk over medium heat until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is completely smooth with no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Return chicken to the skillet along with blanched broccoli and half the crumbled bacon. Stir to combine. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and remaining bacon.

Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown in spots, and the chicken is cooked through to 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes before serving — the sauce will thicken further as it cools.
