Seared Chicken Thighs with Steamed Broccoli and Brown Rice Pilaf
Pan-seared chicken thighs and savory brown rice pilaf served alongside tender steamed broccoli finished with a squeeze of bright lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6.3 ounces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1.5 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Finely Chopped Yellow Onion
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, sauté the finely chopped onions in a small saucepan until translucent, then fold in the pre-cooked brown rice and a tablespoon of water or broth to create a quick pilaf.
Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4-5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Plate the brown rice pilaf, top with the seared chicken thighs, and serve with the steamed broccoli finished with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
