Richness like this usually takes hours, not fifteen minutes. (Or a lifetime of saving carefully from your paycheck every week.) This chicken will make you feel a million bucks. Tip: if you're looking for the right texture for the sauce, dip a spoon in and see how well it sticks to the back. If it coats, you're good to go.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using pork chops, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 1 and 3, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Start the Chicken

    Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook on one side until browned, 5-7 minutes.

    Chicken will finish cooking in a later step.

    While first side of chicken cooks, start broccoli.

  2. 2

    Cook the Broccoli

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, if necessary.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add broccoli and 1 Tbsp. water to hot pan. Cover, and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 5-6 minutes.

    Uncover, and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in a pinch of pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt, to taste.

  3. 3

    Finish Chicken and Make Cream

    Flip chicken, and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees.

    Remove chicken from pan. Keep pan over medium heat. Add cream, red pepper pesto, and a pinch of salt, if desired. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cook until sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Add chicken to pan and flip to coat.
