Dijon-Sour Cream Chicken and Broccoli

(Serves 2-4)

Ingredients:
1 lb Chicken Breast
1 large Broccoli stalk
1 cup Sour Cream
3 tbsp Extra Strong Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
Serve a top a fresh thick slice of bread or a fresh bread bowl of your choice
         (I recommend either Challah, Rye, Rustic Sour Dough, or a 9-12 Grain)

Optional Ingredients:
For a strong mustard spice you can add another tbsp of Dijon mustard (4 tbsp in total).
For a sweet spice add some sliced and washed cherries (1/5 lb).
Serve a top steamed rice, sliced and crispy potatoes, or a large spring mix salad instead.

Preparation:
Slice Broccoli into bite sized peices.
Slice Chicken Breast into bite sized pieces.
*Slice cherries if you want the more sweet spiced dish.

Let's Cook:
Heat a Deep-Pan (with lid) or Pot (with lid) to high heat with a drizzle of you choice of cooking oil or cooking spray. Add in the sliced Chicken. Stir fry this for 2 min. (until chicken is a bit brown). Add in the bite sized sliced Broccoli and also about a 1/5 cup water to steam both the broccoli and chicken, cover the pan or pot. Allow this to steam cook for 1-2 min. (For a more thick sauce, drain remaining water). Add in the 1 cup Sour Cream, 3 tbsp Extra Strong Dijon Mustard, and 1 tsp Whole Grain Dijon Mustard. Stir until it is well mixed and covering the Chicken and Broccoli peices and you are ready to serve!!

Leftovers:
Good if refrigerated for approx. 2 days. After reheating it may be a bit thick, add a tbsp or two of watter to solve this dilemma.
