Yum Yum Chicken (Basic Sauteed Chicken) with Cheesy Broccoli Alfredo Directions
- First, The Cheesy Broccoli Alfredo
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
- Add 1 bag of frozen broccoli to a 9x9 baking dish
- Add Alfredo Sauce and stir to cover all of the broccoli
- Cover with Cheddar Cheese
- Back until cheese is starting to bubble and turn brown (about 20-25 minutes)
- Now For The Bits of Yum Chicken:
- Trim the chicken breasts of excess fat.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This will help them brown
- Heat a very large pan over medium heat.
- Add butter, which should melt and then foam
- As the butter starts to foam, add EVOO and spread it around the entire pan (this will stop the butter from burning)
- Add chicken breasts to the pan. Continually check the bottom of the chicken breast until it's golden brown, then flip the chicken breast
- Cook until the center of the chicken breast is 165 degrees. If you don't have a food thermometer, you can cut one of the chicken breasts in the middle to ensure it's cooked through. Warning: DO NOT EAT UNDER COOKED CHICKEN
- Remove the chicken breasts and cover them to keep them hot
- Add dry white wine to the pan and using a spatula, lightly scrape up the chicken bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Once the wine has cooked down halfway, add the chicken broth. Periodically stir the pan until the wine and broth turn into a syrupy and delicious sauce.
- add chicken to a plate and drizzle syrupy and delicious sauce and little bits of yum(chicken) on top of the chicken
- Add broccoli and serve
