Savor succulent seared chicken thigh paired with tender steamed broccoli and a creamy chickpea mash that ties the dish together with a hint of garlic and lemon. This balanced dinner offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors, perfect for a nutritious, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 piece (6 oz) skinless chicken thigh
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained
1 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thigh dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and allow it to sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the chicken thigh in the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
In a bowl, mash the drained chickpeas lightly with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. For a smoother texture, use the back of a fork or a potato masher.
Plate the seared chicken thigh alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of chickpea mash. Drizzle any pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
