Description

This is a classic Medifast recipe that Stacey Hawkins created and it was used in one of the very first Medifast Cookbooks. Here is her recipe with a slight twist she added. A sublime, quick and easy meal you can enjoy as a weeknight meal or Sunday Dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

1 T Dijon mustard

1 T whole grain mustard

1 C low-sodium Chicken broth

4 tsp Stacey Hawkins Roasted Garlic Oil (or fresh garlic & oil)

4C broccoli florets, fresh

1 T Stacey Hawkins Garlic Gusto Seasoning (or fresh crushed garlic, parsley, lemon and onion)

1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Pinch Stacey Hawkins Dash of Desperation Seasoning (or salt, pepper, onion, garlic and parsley)


Instructions

Whisk together mustard and broth in a bowl, set aside.

In a large frying pan (with lid), heat oil over medium high heat. Add broccoli and season with Garlic Gusto. Cook for approx. 2 minutes, stirring broccoli to coat it in the oil and seasoning.

Pour broccoli into a bowl and set aside.

Place the pan back over the heat and add the chicken, browning it on each side for 4-5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Pour chicken broth & mustard mixture over the chicken.

Add the broccoli and cover the pan with a lid. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked and broccoli is bright green & tender crisp- not overcooked.

Remove from heat and serve hot. Season with Dash of Desperation for additional flavor.
