Ingredients
- 3 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 medium shallot finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ lemon (to juice)
- 1 head broccoli
- 4-8 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces (however many you prefer)
- 2-3 bags Royal® Lemon, Garlic & Herb Rice
Preparation
- Prep the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, then pound them out
thinly. Season both sides with salt and pepper. - Dredge & Sear: Coat each piece lightly in flour, shaking off the excess. Heat oil in a pan
over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
Remove and set aside. - Make the Sauce: In the same pan, sauté the shallot and garlic until fragrant. Pour in the
white wine, scraping up any crispy bits (aka flavor). Let it reduce, then stir in the lemon
juice, and butter until the sauce is glossy and dreamy. Add in the broccoli, cover and
allow to steam in the sauce with the lid on for a few minutes, until the broccoli is fork
tender. - Put It All Together: Add in heavy cream. If the sauce has reduced too much add a splash
of chicken broth. Return the chicken to the pan, letting it soak up all that goodness.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve over rice.
