Ingredients

  • 2 large (about 8 oz each) chicken breasts, boneless skinless
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 cup white rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • ½ whole lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Sear chicken 4 minutes per side until golden.

  3. 3

    Transfer chicken to a sheet pan. Spread rice and mushrooms around the chicken, then nestle broccoli florets on top.

  4. 4

    Toss garlic and remaining 2 tbsp butter together, then dot over the rice and vegetables.

  5. 5

    Pour chicken broth over the rice (it should barely cover). Cover pan tightly with foil and roast at 400°F for 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove foil, drizzle lemon juice over chicken, and serve hot straight from the pan.
