Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter mixture, whisking constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the white wine and broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the chicken cook in the sauce for 8-10 minutes over medium-low heat.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot, arranging them around the chicken. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve warm, spooning the white wine sauce over the chicken and broccoli for added flavor.
