Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthways)
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 head broccoli (chopped)
  • fresh parsley (for garnishing, optional)

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Pan

Method
 

  1. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the onion salt and black pepper, making sure to coat both sides.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts for approx. 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Then remove them from the pan and set them aside.
  3. In the same frying pan, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the chicken stock until smooth. Then gradually add the remaining chicken stock, whisking as you go.
  4. Heat the pan on a medium setting again, and add the mustard and honey, whisking until combined.
  5. Once the sauce is bubbling, stir in the milk and cream and allow to return to a boil. Season to taste.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and add the broccoli. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a further 10 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
