Read Time:1 Second




Yields2 Servings

 5 tsp vegetable oil
 12 oz broccoli florets, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (FRESH is best but Frozen will work)
 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
 2 tbsp plus 2 teaspoons almond flour
 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
 Salt and pepper
 1 tbsp unsalted butter
 1 shallot, minced
 ½ cup heavy cream
 ¼ cup dry sherry
 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
 1 ½ oz Parmesan cheese, grated (3/4 cup)
 2 tsp teaspoons lemon juice

1

Be sure to use an ovensafe skillet. You can substitute dry white wine for the sherry.

2

1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 10-inch ovensafe skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add broccoli and cook until spotty brown, about 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup broth, cover, and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer broccoli to plate and wipe out skillet with paper towels.

2. Place 2 tablespoons flour in shallow dish. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking to remove excess. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate.

4

3. Reduce heat to medium, add butter and shallot to now-empty skillet, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in remaining 2 teaspoons flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in remaining 1 cup broth, cream, sherry, and Worcestershire and bring to simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken to skillet and simmer until it registers 160 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

5

4. Adjust oven rack 9 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Transfer chicken to cutting board and continue to simmer sauce until reduced to ½ cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Off heat, whisk in ¼ cup Parmesan and lemon juice. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Cut chicken into ½-inch-thick slices and stir chicken and broccoli into sauce in skillet. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup Parmesan and broil until spotty brown, about 5 minutes.

Serve.
