Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 1-2 servings
Ingredients
- •2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into medallions
- •1 head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- •3 large farm-fresh eggs
- •1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- •2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- •1 small garlic clove, micro-grated
- •3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- •1 teaspoon dried oregano
- •1 teaspoon dried thyme
- •1 lemon, zested and juiced
- •Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, micro-grated garlic, and a pinch of salt; set aside in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld.
- 2Season the chicken medallions with oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- 3Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp, then immediately pat them dry.
- 4Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken medallions for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; remove and rest.
- 5In the same skillet, add the steamed broccoli and a splash of lemon juice; sear for 2 minutes until charred at the edges, then toss with lemon zest and remove.
- 6Wipe the skillet and add the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat; crack the eggs into the hot oil and fry undisturbed until the whites develop golden, lacy, crispy edges while the yolks remain runny.
- 7Assemble the plate by layering the charred broccoli and chicken medallions, placing the crispy eggs on top, and serving with a generous dollop of the dill yogurt sauce.
