♥Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.

♥Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer.

STEP 7

♥Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Add broccoli to sauce.
