Ingredients

  • 3 Tbls Butter, divided salted or unsalted butter
  • 6 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 can chicken stalk
  • 1 16-oz bag of frozen broccoli
  • 1 1/2 Tbls Fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced and cut into small thin wedges
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and bubbly.
  • 'Season each side of chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Add seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, the chicken will be golden brown and will easily release from the bottom of the skillet. Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a plate. Cover and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and sliced shallots to the skillet. Saute shallots until they have softened and are slightly golden. This will require 4 to 5 minutes and you may need to stir them occassionaly
  • Once the shallots are sauteed, add chicken stock to skillet and return heat to medium-high, Bring chicken stock to a boil. Once boiling use a wooden spoon or spatula to loosen brown bits from the bottom of the pan. You'll deglaze the pan.
  • Add chopped rosemary leaves and continue cooking until stock is reduced by half. This will take another 4-5 minutes, stir occassionally,
  • Return chicken and any juices to the skillet. Also, add 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 (not mushy) and the chicken is cooked. (Test with an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should read 165°F. Note: If the broccoli cooks sooner than the chicken, remove to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. Place chicken in a bowl and then spoon pan sauce over each chicken thigh. Garnish with lemon wedges, and Enjoy.
