About the sauce
The breasts are usually a bit dry protein for the palate. The idea is to mix with a little sauce to match textures and flavors. If you don't know how to prepare a green sauce, or you don't feel like it, you can:
Make a bechamel-type sauce with enough flavor.
You can also mix a little vinegar, mustard and salt.
Another way is to make an anchovy cream that is spectacular.
Making a mayonnaise-based sauce would be scrumptious.
It all depends on the touch you want to give it, whether it is sweet or salty, prepare the sauce that best suits your taste.
You can even add a little sugar to the oil where you cook the breasts, so that the seasoning you have given the breasts stands out. When serving add a little to enjoy, even on top of sautéed broccoli.
Go ahead, prepare chicken breasts accompanied by roasted broccoli that will make you enjoy this classic cut of meat in an unconventional way. Surprise everyone with this recipe and don't forget to share your results.
