- 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.
