Instructions

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet; cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from skillet and let rest.

  5. In the same skillet used for chicken, add broccoli florets with a splash of water; cover tightly and steam for about 5 minutes until bright green.
