Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
-
Step 2
Add broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until they begin to soften but remain bright green.
-
Step 3
Stir in the chickpeas, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to coat everything evenly with seasoning.
-
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
-
Step 5
If a thicker consistency is desired, mix cornstarch with a small amount of water and stir into the skillet. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Step 6
Reduce heat to low and add shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and creamy. Remove from heat and serve warm.
