Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 2 medium shallots thinly sliced
  • 1 cup/250ml chicken stock
  • Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 16 oz/450g frozen broccoli
  • 1 medium organic lemon sliced and cut into small, thin wedges

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan/skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Swirl to coat bottom of pan.
  • Unroll chicken thighs and season each side with salt and black pepper. Add seasoned chicken to hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until chicken is golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a plate. Cover and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter and sliced shallots to the pan. Sauté shallots for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown.
  • Add chicken stock to pan and increase heat to medium-high. Bring liquid to a boil while using a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan.
  • Add the rosemary and continue cooking for about 4-5 minutes until liquid is reduced by about half, stirring occasionally.
  • Return the chicken and its juices to the pan, along with the frozen broccoli and thin lemon wedges.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until broccoli is tender and the chicken is cooked through, and juices run clear. (Internal temperature should read 165F/75C on an instant-read thermometer.)
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately with a spoonful of pan sauce drizzled over each chicken thigh. Garnish with additional lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
