Ingredients

Broccoli

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces

Chicken

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lb uncooked chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Arrange oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Heat oven to 375° F.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix 1 teaspoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add broccoli; toss until evenly coated. Place on ungreased 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan; place in oven. Immediately reduce heat to 325° F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tender when pierced with knife.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add chicken; toss to coat.
  • 4
    Heat 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tenders in skillet 4 to 5 minutes or until browned on bottom. Turn over tenders, top with garlic and chicken broth; transfer to oven. Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken reads 165° F. Carefully remove pan from oven, being mindful of hot handle.
  • 5
    Divide broccoli and chicken among 4 plates. Spoon pan juices and garlic over chicken and broccoli; drizzle lemon juice on top. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Like it spicy? Add 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce to the broccoli before roasting.
  • tip 2
    Cutting your own florets from stalks of broccoli? Don't just toss that broccoli stalk! Trim the bottom, peel, then cut into small chunks, and roast alongside the florets.
  • tip 3
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
