Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut on lengthwise about 8 oz each
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp gluten free flour
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes optional or to taste
  • 1 medium head broccoli
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk the flour with almond milk until it is fully combined.
  • To the same preheated skillet, add the chicken broth. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the almond milk mixture, Dijon mustard, honey and chili flakes, if using. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, add in the chicken and broccoli. Continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and broccoli is tender.

Notes

  • Milk: Use any milk of choice. 2% works well. Dairy-free milk will be good too but the consistency will be a little different.
  • Chicken: use free-range organic chicken if possible. Slicing the chicken to a thinner consistency will entire that the chicken cooks through. You may also use boneless chicken thighs.
  • Broccoli: if you don't like broccoli you may use another vegetable of choice. Try green beans.
  • Broth: we used chicken broth but you may use veggie broth.
