Seared Chicken Thighs with Steamed Broccoli and Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
Enjoy tender, perfectly seared chicken thighs paired with crisp, lightly steamed broccoli and a velvety garlic mashed cauliflower. This balanced dinner combines savory seared protein with vegetable goodness and a fragrant, creamy side, creating a comforting yet energizing meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 pieces chicken thigh (85g each)
3/4 cup steamed broccoli (~68g)
1 cup chopped cauliflower (107g)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until just tender, about 4-5 minutes, then toss with a drizzle of lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
For the garlic mashed cauliflower, place the chopped cauliflower and garlic cloves in a small saucepan. Steam or boil until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic, then transfer them to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mash until smooth. Season with a bit of salt and a touch of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Plate the seared chicken thighs alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of garlic mashed cauliflower. Serve warm and enjoy the harmonious blend of savory chicken with the fresh, garlicky vegetable sides.
