Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the garlic powder on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest. Once cooled slightly, slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until it forms a paste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth to avoid lumps. Let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Then, mix in the sautéed broccoli and sliced chicken.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken and Broccoli Noodles Dijon!
