Dijon Chicken and Broccoli

If you don’t like mustard, don’t let the dijon part turn you away from this immediately. This recipe is delicious and very simple to make.

Dijon Chicken and Broccoli is a perfect dinner when you are looking for a light and healthier meal. I always love a good meal that only uses one pan… much less clean-up later! I tried out a new recipe last night based on a Lean and Green cookbook. I got it at a vendor event in my neighborhood a few months ago, and it was really good!

Of course, in true Son Shine Kitchen fashion, I changed up the recipe some. That’s just what I do! Sometimes it’s on purpose. Sometimes I make a mistake in the prep or cooking and just have to roll with it from there. This was a little bit of both.

Now, if you don’t like mustard, don’t let the dijon part turn you away from this immediately. I don’t really care for mustard, but it is necessary and can be good in the right meals. In fact, that’s something I plan to change in this recipe, too; I want to lower the amount of Dijon because it was almost a little too much for my tastes. I am going to make that adjustment in the recipe I post, so you can always add more if you want the extra flavor.

The chicken and broccoli get a lot of flavor from the sauce. Rice makes a great neutral side to this dish if you want one.

Step by Step

Cut the chicken into strips and place it in a small bowl and cover with the soy sauce. Let this soak for about 30 minutes to marinate the chicken.

In a medium skillet, warm one tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli and minced garlic. Sauté until they are browned.

Remove the broccoli and garlic from the pan and add the chicken and the remaining one tbsp of olive oil. Stir-fry the chicken until it is cooked through.

Pour the chicken broth into the pan with the chicken and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium again and stir in the dijon mustard.

Return the broccoli to the pan. Stir until everything is coated in the sauce and heated together. Serve your Dijon Chicken immediately.
