1 Cook the Broccoli
Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add broccoli to hot pan. Cook undisturbed, 1-2 minutes. Add 2 Tbsp. water, cover, and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 5-6 minutes. Uncover, and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove from burner. Season with a pinch of salt and seasoning blend. While broccoli cooks, start chicken.

2 Cook the Chicken
Pat chicken breasts dry. Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

3 Make the Sauce
Return pan used to cook chicken to medium heat and add chicken base, pesto, cream cheese, and 1 Tbsp. water. Stir occasionally until cream cheese melts and sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from burner. Stir in butter.
