MY REVIEW OF THIS RECIPE
I was so excited to try this recipe. I love pork tenderloin and had never cooked it so could not wait! I really did like the recipe but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. It may have been because it was my first time making it so I will probably try again. We had leftovers tonight since the kids didn't eat with us so we'll have it again tomorrow which I wouldn't do if it wasn't good. So though my rating isn't too high, I would still recommend it to others.

Scott's Rating: 7 out of 10
Katherine's Rating: 7 out of 10 (overall - the broccoli was a 10!!)

Ingredients:

• 4 tsp Time Savor Gourmet Roasted Garlic Oil (can substitute olive oil and fresh roasted garlic)
  
• 6 C broccoli florets, fresh
  
• 1 T Time Savor Gourmet Garlic Gusto Seasoning (complex blend but I figure any garlic seasoning other than salt could be substituted)
  
• 1.5 lbs. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1 T Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 T Dijon Mustard
• 1 C Low-sodium chicken broth
  
• Natural Sea Salt and Peppercorns to taste
  

Directions:

• Whisk together soy sauce, mustard and broth in a bowl, set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add broccoli and season with Garlic Gusto. Cook for approx. 1 minute, stirring broccoli to coat it in the oil and seasoning.
  
• Pour broccoli into a bowl and set aside.
• Place the pan back over the heat and add the chicken, browning it on each side for 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
• Pour chicken broth mixture over the chicken.
• Add the broccoli and cover the pan.
• Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked and broccoli is bright green & tender crisp - not overcooked.
  

MY REVIEW OF THIS RECIPE
Okay, well apparently I can't read today. I made a few mistakes on this one but overall, I don't think it mattered a whole lot. I really loved the broccoli in this recipe. The flavor was outstanding. But the chicken was a little bland even after I added the salt and pepper to taste. It wasn't bad at all... just nothing special. Next time I try it, I'm going to cut the chicken into strips first so more surface area will be exposed to the seasonings. Hopefully that'll help. Regardless, I'll make this again because of how much I enjoyed the broccoli!

MY REVIEW OF THIS RECIPE
LOVED this recipe! The flavor was great... due to the mushrooms I think. You couldn't even tell it wasn't stir fried in butter... well it wasn't as greasy so maybe that gave it away but the flavor was fantastic. Even Scott who doesn't really like these kinds of veggies enjoyed it.

MY REVIEW OF THIS RECIPE
I really liked it! The fish wasn't dry which I was worried about nor was it spicy at all. Tilapia goes a long way... you feel like you're getting a lot of food which you kind of are! 7oz. of Tilapia is a lot! I bought the frozen filets which makes it easy, easy, easy. I did not use fresh cilantro or the salt and pepper seasonings just cause I didn't have any. Instead, I added a little splash of Tastefully Simple Italian Seasoning mix. Next time I make this, I will have the right seasonings though again, I won't use cilantro.
