Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Sauce:
  • 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthways)
  • 1/2 tsp onion
  • Salt
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 head broccoli (chopped)
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnishing, optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Whisk
  • Serving plates

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Start by seasoning the cut chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken as it cooks.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions. Sauté for about 2 minutes until they are translucent. Then, whisk in the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, honey, milk, and heavy cream. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Once the sauce is thickened, add the chopped broccoli to the skillet. Stir to coat the broccoli in the sauce, and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the broccoli and sauce. Allow everything to heat through for another minute. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken with turkey or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Feel free to use other vegetables like asparagus, green beans, or bell peppers.
  • Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to three days for best flavor.
