Garlic Butter Chicken with Broccoli

This is the dinner I make on the nights I genuinely do not feel like cooking, because it's one pan and maybe fifteen minutes of actual attention.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat and sautu00e9 the garlic for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant; don't let it brown, or it turns bitter.
  2. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should hit 165u00b0F).
  3. Add the broccoli and lemon juice, cover, and let it steam for 4u20135 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Notes

Tip: if your chicken breasts are on the thick side, pound them to an even thickness first so they cook through without drying out on the outside.
