Instructions

Place the chicken pieces between two sheets of wax paper and flatten them to about ¾ inches in thickness.
Coat both sides of the chicken with tarragon, garlic, marjoram, salt, and pepper, then dust with paprika.
Warm the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until they reach a golden hue (2-4 minutes). Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside.
Introduce the broccolini to the heated pan and cook for 3-4 minutes before removing and setting aside. (Alternatively, steam the broccolini in the microwave for 3 minutes until it is crisp-tender.)
In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth or stock, diced onion, and honey to create a sauce. Pour this into the skillet, stirring and scraping off any bits stuck to the bottom.
Turn the heat down to medium-low. Return the chicken to the pan and allow it to cook for 10-15 minutes until thoroughly done, adding the broccolini in the last 2-3 minutes.
Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley on top.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for 30 minutes before cooking for a richer flavor.
Add a splash of lemon juice to the sauce for a citrusy kick.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
