Ingredients
- 1-1/2 lbs broccoli florets ((3 large heads) chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (crushed)
- Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons light Mayo
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each)
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (divided)
- 1/4 cup shallots or onion (minced )
- 1/4 cup all purpose (or gluten-free flour like cup4cup)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup fat free milk
- 2 ounces dry sherry (white wine would work)
- 6 ounces reduced-fat Swiss cheese (shredded or chopped fine)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs (or gluten-free crumbs)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat add 1 teaspoon olive oil and garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the broccoli, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon of water and cover.
- Let the broccoli cook until tender crisp, 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish.
- Pound the thicker end of the chicken breast to make it even on both sides. Brush mayo on the chicken and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat, when hot spray with oil and cook the chicken until just about cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.
- Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a cutting board. When cooled, slice chicken into bite sized pieces.
- Reduce the heat of the skillet to medium heat. Add the butter and remaining oil until melted and then add the shallots and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour cook, stirring about 1 minute. Whisk in broth, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and sherry and bring to a simmer about 1 1/2 minutes on low. Remove from heat and stir in half of the Swiss cheese.
- Pour half of the sauce over the broccoli and mix to coat. Arrange the chicken on top and cover with remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan and top with breadcrumbs.
- Spritz a little oil on top. Bake 30 minutes, until hot and golden.
