Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise

  • to taste black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 head broccoli chopped
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden, about 3 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, whisk the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the chicken stock until smooth.
  • Gradually whisk in the remaining chicken stock, then add the Dijon mustard and honey and stir until combined and bubbling slightly.

  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise for even cooking.

  • Use full-fat cream for a richer sauce.
