Ingredients
Ingredients:
5 T. unsalted, divided
3 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
3-4 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
3 T. lemon juice
½ c. chicken broth or water
1 c. red cabbage, chopped small
2 c. fresh or frozen broccoli florets, chopped small*

* For best results, use fresh broccoli as it will provide better color in the finished dish. If using frozen, thaw and drain completely before adding to the hot skillet.
Instructions
-
Add 3 tablespoons butter and two tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minute.
-
Add chicken and season with salt and black pepper, as desired. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is nicely browned on all sides, approximately 7-8 minutes.
-
Transfer the chicken to a platter and set aside.
-
Add the lemon juice and chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the skillet by gently scraping with a spatula. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, approximately 2-3 minutes.
-
Add remaining butter and oil to the hot skillet. Add the red cabbage and broccoli to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are just tender, approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Once chicken is heated through, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
