MY REVIEW OF THIS RECIPE
I had my hopes up that this would taste more like potatoes than it did... not that it was bad, it was actually pretty good. But potatoes they weren't. That being said, it kind of satisfied that texture thing I've been missing by not having carbs. They were very similar to potatoes cooked the same way. A couple of warnings/suggestions: 1. Be careful not to use too much non-stick spray. You don't want them soggy. 2. Don't cook them too high. I cooked them on medium high but I think they'd have done better at a little lower temperature... I was just hungry so in a hurry for them. :) I really did like these enough that I will have them again. Scott tried a bite and says he'd eat them if I made enough for the family next time.

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.
