    Garlic lovers rejoice. This soul-warming Roast Chicken with Broccoli and Garlic Cheese recipe is so easy to put together yet provides a wonderful mix of bold flavors, creamy textures, lots of fiber, protein and healthy fats.

    If you are not a big fan of parsley you can use chives or dill instead, for your flavored cream cheese, and of course, you can add your favorite spices and double the recipe to have a delicious spread or dip ready for the next day.

    All I can say is yum!

    How to Make Roast Chicken with Broccoli and Garlic Cheese

    First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take your chicken legs and place them in a baking pan and coat them with melted butter. Season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper then roast for 30 minutes.

    Roast chicken legs seasoned with oregano and thyme

    Remove the chicken legs from the oven and sprinkle over the oregano and thyme. Toss the chicken so that it is well coated in the juices and herbs.

    Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes until tender.

    To make the garlic cheese, grab a bowl and fold the olive oil, garlic, parsley and salt into the cream cheese.

    Garlic cream cheese sauce

    Serve the chicken legs with a side of broccoli and generous dollops of garlic cream cheese! Each serving is 1 chicken leg, 1 cup of broccoli and 2 scoops of cream cheese. Enjoy!
