Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) boneless chicken breast (about 3 breasts, cut in half)
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules (5 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon (2.5 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram (2.5 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (2.5 ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon each, salt and pepper (1.25 ml)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 – 1 1/2 pounds (454-680 g) broccolini, washed, cut apart lengthwise, into sections about 1 1/2 inches wide
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) diced onion
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
- Optional – fresh chopped parsley
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.
