Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite seasoning blend
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the broccoli florets. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine Chicken and Broccoli: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Toss everything together and let it cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
- Fry the Eggs: In a separate non-stick pan, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Serve: Divide the chicken and broccoli mixture among four plates. Top each serving with a fried egg.
