1 tbsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic

1 medium shallot

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Prepare the broccoli rice by pulsing the florets in a food processor until they reach a fine, rice-like consistency.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.

• 6

  In the same skillet, add the minced shallot and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

• 7

  Add the processed broccoli rice to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until tender but still bright green.

• 8

  Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice to brighten the broccoli rice.

• 9

  Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and serve immediately over the warm, citrusy broccoli rice.
