What You Need


Broccoli with Canadian Cheese Sauce:
1 bunch broccoli, (about 1 lb/ 450 g)

Canadian Cheese Sauce:
1 cup (250 ml) Milk
2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp (2 ml) Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp ( 0.50 ml) salt
1/8 tsp ( 0.50 ml) pepper
1/2 cup (125 ml) shredded Canadian Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup (60 ml) shredded Canadian white Cheddar cheese

Honey-Orange Glazed Chicken:
1/3 cup (80 ml) orange juice
2 tbsp (30 ml) liquid honey
1 tsp (5 ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter

Instructions

Steamed Broccoli with Canadian Cheese Sauce
Cut broccoli into florets; peel and cut stems into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Place in steamer over boiling water; cover and steam 7 minutes or until broccoli is tender-crisp. Remove to serving dish.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together milk, flour, mustard, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until thickened and bubbling. Remove from heat; stir in Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese until melted. Pour cheese sauce over broccoli.

Honey-Orange Glazed Chicken
In a measuring cup whisk together orange juice, honey and soy sauce; set aside.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; brown chicken on both sides for 2 minutes per side. Whisk honey mixture and stir into skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Return skillet to heat; bring sauce to a boil and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes or until sauce is slightly reduced. Add chicken to skillet and coat with sauce.


Tips

To make sure the chicken is moist and tender, keep the sauce at a simmer and don't let it boil.

For a main-course salad, place cooked chicken on a bed of salad greens; drizzle with honey-orange sauce and sprinkle shredded Canadian Cheddar cheese on top.
