One Skillet Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Thighs with Broccoli
Prep 10 minutes, Cook 30-35 minutes, Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1½ tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 1 16-oz. bag frozen broccoli
- 1 medium lemon, quartered & sliced
Directions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted, and then swirl to coat bottom of pan.
- Unroll chicken thighs and season each side with salt and black pepper. Add seasoned chicken to hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and releases easily from the bottom of the skillet. Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a plate. Cover and keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and sliced onion to skillet. Sauté onions, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add chicken stock to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Bring liquid to a boil while using a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan. Add chopped rosemary leaves and continue cooking until liquid is reduced by about half, approximately 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return chicken and its juices to the skillet, along with the frozen broccoli and thin lemon wedges. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp tender and chicken is cooked through. (Internal temperature should read 165°F on an instant-read thermometer).
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with a spoonful of pan sauce drizzled over each chicken thigh.
- Garnish with additional lemon wedges, if desired.
Enjoy!

This looks so yummy Robin. I have fresh rosemary out in the garden and our neighbors have lemon trees, perfect for this. I have to save this one to try later, thank you.

I hate to admit it but I’m not a big fan of rosemary. It tastes like I’m eating off the shrubbery. Lol. I love chicken and broccoli, though!
