    From the Test Kitchen

    To give our seared chicken a perfectly rich, bright lift, we’re topping it with an irresistible pan sauce of garlic, capers, red pepper flakes, fresh lemon juice, and butter—cooked in the reserved fond from the chicken for an extra savory boost. It's all complete with two simple sides of roasted broccoli and creamy labneh-mashed potatoes.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the capers. Halve the lemon crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl, straining out the seeds.

    Cook & mash the potatoes
    2 Cook & mash the potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water and cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the labneh. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.

    Roast the broccoli
    3 Roast the broccoli

    Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with foil. Place the broccoli florets on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend; toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    4 Cook the chicken

    Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the oregano. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board. 

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.

    In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic, chopped capers, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the lemon juice (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat; stir in the butter until melted and combined. Slice the cooked chicken crosswise. Serve the sliced chicken with the mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. Top the chicken with the pan sauce. Enjoy!
