Ingredients
3 Tbsp of Unsalted Butter, Divided
6 Chicken Thighs, Boneless Skinless
2 Medium of Shallots, Sliced Thin
1.5 Tbsp of Rosemary, Finely Chopped
16 Ounces of Broccoli, Frozen Bag

Instructions
-
Gettin' HeatedHeat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
-
Chicken timeUnroll chicken thighs and season each side with salt and black pepper. Add seasoned chicken to a 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.
-
SautéReduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and sliced shallots to the skillet. Sauté shallots, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
-
SimmerAdd 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 the bottom of the pan. Add chopped rosemary leaves and continue cooking until liquid is reduced by about half, approximately 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Getting JuicyReturn 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).
-
ServeRemove from heat and serve immediately with a spoonful of pan sauce drizzled over each chicken thigh. Garnish with additional lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
