INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

0.5 tsp sea salt

• 1

  Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat.

• 3

  Add the thinly sliced garlic cloves to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy, then remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.

• 4

  Place the chicken pieces in the hot skillet in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned and cooked through.

• 5

  Add the broccoli florets to the skillet along with a tablespoon of water; cover with a lid for 2 minutes to steam-char the broccoli.

• 6

  Remove the lid and continue to sauté the broccoli and chicken for another 3 minutes until the broccoli edges are slightly blackened and tender-crisp.

  Return the toasted garlic to the pan and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.

  Toss everything together for 30 seconds to combine the flavors and serve immediately.
