Health and fertility benefits of Chicken Broccolini with Mustard Cream Sauce
Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system. Skinless chicken breast is an excellent source of the protein, as its contains 21 grams of protein for every 100 grams of breast. Additionally, chicken contains ample amounts of vitamin B6, which serves a vital function in helping to reduce the stressors that cause PCOS. Vitamin B6 help keeps your hormones at balanced levels, which is very helpful for those seeking to stem the flow of excessive testosterone and androgen
Ingredients
2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 bunch Broccolini (steamed For 1 To 2 Minute If Preferred)
1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
2 whole Large Eggs
2 Tablespoons Milk
3/4 cups Seasoned Breadcrumbs
1 whole 1 Half Stick (1/4 Cup) Land O Lakes® Butter With Olive Oil & Sea Salt
3 cloves Garlic, Minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1/4 cup Brandy Or White Wine (can Use Chicken Broth As A Substitute)
1-1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1-1/2 teaspoon Grainy Brown Mustard
1/3 cup Chicken Broth, Plus More If Needed For Thinning
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the chicken breasts into cutlets: Place one hand flat on the breast and use a knife to carefully slice through the middle. Repeat with the other and you’ll be left with four smaller cutlets. Place them between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to pound them thin.
Place one to two stalks of broccolini in the middle of each cutlet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then fold up the edges and secure with toothpicks.
Prepare an assembly line for breading: a dish with the flour, a dish with the egg mixed with milk, and a dish with the breadcrumbs. One at a time, bread the chicken by carefully dredging it in flour, then dunking it in the egg wash, then coating it in the breadcrumbs. Set them aside as you coat the other pieces. (Be careful not to coat the broccolini.)
Melt the Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown it on both sides until the breadcrumbs are golden and the chicken is partly cooked, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, seam side up, and finish in the oven for 10 minutes.
While you are finishing the chicken, make the Mustard Cream Sauce: Return the skillet to medium heat and add the garlic, stirring for 1 minute to ensure it doesn’t burn. Pour in the brandy or wine, whisking, and let it reduce for 1 minute. Whisk in the mustard, let it bubble up for 1 minute, then add the broth and let it heat. Finally, whisk in the cream and stir until the sauce is thick and bubbly (5-7 minutes). Add salt and pepper.
Serve the chicken with the mustard cream spooned over the top. Serve immediately!
