How to Make Solo Chicken Breast And Lemon Broccoli

  1. Pat dry 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (6 oz). Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lightly coat with 1 tbsp all-purpose flour.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until butter is melted and foaming subsides. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  3. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Add 1 cup broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the lemon-garlic mixture over the broccoli in the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare sweet onion rice according to recipe #14764 (or your preferred method).
  7. Serve the lemon broccoli sauce over the chicken breast and top with the sweet onion rice. Garnish with fresh lemon zest (optional).
