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’s Lemon Garlic & Herb Rice
Instructions
- 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.
