470g
1/2 cup chicken gravy
120g
4 cups broccoli
280g
6 tbsp mustard
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp soy sauce
16g
1 garlic clove
3g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Clean and trim the chicken breasts if needed.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- Mince the garlic clove.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- 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).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the Dijon mustard, chicken gravy, and soy sauce to the skillet.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Cook the Broccoli:
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet.
- Stir to coat the broccoli with the sauce.
- Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam for about 5 minutes, or until it is tender but still bright green.
5. Combine and Serve:
- 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.
6. Finish and Plate:
- 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.
