Seared Chicken with Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 2 to 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • Several Spears of Fresh Broccoli (or asparagus)

Unit: Large Skillet or Electric Skillet

Instructions

Flatten the thick end of the chicken with a spoon or mallet in a plastic baggie. (The chicken cooks more evenly this way.)

Preheat the skillet on medium-high heat (375° on the electric skillet) until water beads up when flicked into the unit (3 to 5 minutes). Cook the chicken for 6 minutes on the first side.

Flip the chicken and reduce heat to medium-low (250° on the electric skillet). Add 1/2 cup of water and seal the lid.

Cook for 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

***Note: You can add in broccoli or asparagus during the last 3 to 5 minutes if you would like. Time depends oh how well done you would like the vegetables.
