Healthy dinner options can be one of the hardest things to plan out while camping. We want something simple to make that doesn’t require a ton of dishes. However, this doesn’t mean we have to limit ourselves to smokies, burgers, and instant pasta. What if I told you this meal is easy, healthy, delicious, and requires minimal clean-up? Fill up after your hike with lemon-rosemary chicken and broccoli.

This one-skillet recipe is packed with flavor and is oh-so-easy to prepare. The classic pairing of fresh rosemary and lemon is the centerpiece of this dish, while the addition of sautéed shallots adds a subtle depth to the flavors. When paired with frozen broccoli, you have the makings of a satisfying, low-carb meal that will soon become a new family favorite.

Tip: Organic lemons are recommended for this dish because the skin is not removed prior to cooking.

One Skillet Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Thighs with Broccoli

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Total Time 10 mins
Course meals

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium shallots sliced thin
  • 1 cup chicken stock preferably organic
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 1 16-oz bag frozen broccoli
  • 1 medium organic lemon slices and cut into small, thin wedges

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. 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 chicken is 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 shallots to skillet. Sauté shallots, 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!
