- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

- Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam for about 5 minutes, or until it is tender but still bright green.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and broccoli.
- Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to ensure it's well-coated.
- Let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the Dijon chicken and broccoli warm, dividing the chicken and broccoli evenly among plates.
- Spoon extra sauce over the top if desired.
Tips:
- For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
- You can add a splash of lemon juice at the end for an extra tangy flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with additional vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for added variety.
- Make sure not to overcook the broccoli to retain its bright green color and crisp texture.
- Serve the dish over brown rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
