Equipment

1 Cast Iron Skillet 10 Inch or larger

Ingredients
  

  • 3 T. butter substitute divided
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 6 thighs
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium shallots sliced thin
  • 1 c. chicken stock preferably organic
  • T. fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 1 16- oz. bag frozen broccoli
  • 1 medium organic lemon sliced and cut into small, thin wedges

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter substitute in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Swirl to coat bottom of pan.
  • Season each side of chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add seasoned chicken to hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until chicken is golden brown and releases easily 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 skillet. Sauté shallots, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Bring liquid to a boil while using a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan. Add chopped rosemary leaves and continue cooking until liquid is reduced by about half, approximately 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Return chicken and its juices to the skillet, along with the frozen broccoli and thin lemon wedges. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp tender and chicken is cooked through. (Internal temperature should read 165°F on an instant-read thermometer).
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately with a spoonful of pan sauce drizzled over each chicken thigh. Garnish with additional lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Quick Tip: Organic lemons are recommended for this dish because the skin is not removed prior to cooking.
