===Chef's notes===
I would use the smallest amount of [[Olive oil|olive oil]] you can get away with when cooking the [[Chicken|chicken]], otherwise the dish will be swimming in [[Fat|fat]].

I made this for 2 people using 2 large [[chicken]] breasts, 6 fat garlic cloves, about 50gm of butter, a little extra [[olive oil]] in the sauce and 3 or 4 tablespoons of hot water (the liquor from cooking the [[broccoli]]) to thin the sauce a little.
===Serving suggestion===
This went very well with [[spaghetti]] and [[broccoli]].  It had very little sauce, but with a dash of olive oil on the spaghetti it made a very pleasant dish.
