LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN & GREENS

 

Golden chicken and colourful greens in a light lemon and garlic sauce, made with Just Ghee Original Ghee.

Serves 2 | About 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 teaspoons Just Ghee Original Ghee
• 300g boneless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
• 200g broccoli, cut into small florets
• 100g frozen peas
• 100g spinach
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 100ml reduced-salt chicken stock
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

METHOD:

1. Melt the ghee in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, turning until lightly golden.

2. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

3. Add the broccoli and stock. Cover and simmer gently for 5–6 minutes.

4. Stir in the peas and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Add a splash of water if needed.

5. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Check the chicken is thoroughly cooked: the centre of the thickest pieces should reach 75°C for 30 seconds.

6. Finish with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.

Serve with brown basmati rice, or enjoy on its own for a lighter meal.

GHEE TIP
Melt the ghee gently before adding the chicken. Medium heat helps the garlic cook without burning.
