INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare a medium-sized pot with enough water to submerge the chicken breast. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Place the chicken breast in the simmering water over medium heat. Add chopped fresh herbs to infuse the chicken with lemon-herb flavor.
Allow the chicken to poach gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Turn the chicken once during cooking for even doneness.
While the chicken is poaching, steam broccoli until tender yet still vibrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid, slice it, and arrange it on a plate with the steamed broccoli. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil and squeeze the lemon wedge over the top.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
