Chicken w/Broccoli
Description
This quick and comforting skillet dinner brings together tender chicken breasts, fresh broccoli, and savory mushrooms in a luxurious, creamy sauce. The addition of Dijon mustard adds a sharp, tangy kick that cuts through the richness of the cream of chicken soup base, creating a perfectly balanced flavor profile. It’s a quintessential weeknight meal that feels indulgent yet comes together in under thirty minutes. The chicken absorbs the savory juices while the vegetables retain a pleasant bite. Serve it over fluffy rice or egg noodles for a complete, satisfying family meal that everyone will love.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of margarine over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast halves and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, until browned on both sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of margarine. Add the broccoli flowerets and sliced mushrooms. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender and any released liquid has evaporated.
-
Stir in the cream of chicken soup, milk, and Dijon mustard. Heat the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
-
Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the sauce is heated through. Stir occasionally.
-
Serve immediately over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Note
If the sauce becomes too thick after adding the soup, stir in a splash of water or additional milk to reach your desired consistency.
You can omit the Dijon mustard if you prefer a milder flavor, though it adds a nice tang.
Canned mushrooms can be used for convenience, but fresh mushrooms offer a better texture.
