Roast Chicken with Parmesan-Herb Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts (12 ounces each)
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp ground pepper, divided
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 bunches broccolini (8 ounces each)
• 3 clove garlic, minced, divided
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, divided
• 2 cup cooked whole-grain rice blend

Instructions

1. Position a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.
2. Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise on the diagonal into 2 roughly equal portions and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge chicken lightly; reserve the remaining flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skinned-side down; cook until browned on the bottom, about 6 minutes. Transfer, skinned-side up, to a rimmed baking sheet. Reserve the skillet.
3. Toss broccolini with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, half the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread out on the other half of the baking sheet.
4. Roast until the broccolini is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, whisk 4 teaspoons of the reserved flour and wine in a small bowl until combined. Place the skillet over medium heat, add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the wine mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan, 1 teaspoon thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
6. To serve, divide the chicken, broccolini and rice among 4 dinner plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
