Let's Make Herby Breaded Chicken Breast with Butter Sauce and Veggies!

Hi! I’m going to help you make a tasty and healthy meal: herby breaded chicken breast with butter sauce, tenderstem broccoli, and green beans. It's a great recipe for beginners and super yummy!

What You'll Need:

  • Chicken breast (cut in half if big)
  • Breadcrumbs mixed with herbs (like parsley or thyme)
  • Butter
  • Tenderstem broccoli
  • Green beans
  • Salt and pepper
  • Some cooking oil (like olive oil or vegetable oil)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. This helps the crumbs stick better.
  2. Coat the chicken: Dip the chicken into some water or a little beaten egg if you have it (HelloFresh recipes usually use egg or water), then press the herby breadcrumbs onto the chicken so it gets covered well.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat a little oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked (no pink inside). You can check by cutting a small piece in the thickest part.
  4. Cook the veggies: While the chicken cooks, boil or steam the tenderstem broccoli and green beans for about 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender but still a little crunchy. Be careful not to overcook them.
  5. Make the butter sauce: In a small saucepan or in the same pan after you take out the chicken, melt a knob of butter on low heat. If you want, you can add some herbs or a little garlic now. Stir gently until melted and delicious.
  6. Serve everything: Put the cooked chicken on a plate, pour some butter sauce over it, and add the tenderstem broccoli and green beans on the side.

Tips:

  • Always ask an adult for help when using the stove.
  • You can add lemon juice to the butter sauce for a fresh taste.
  • If you like, you can also add some salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy your homemade herby breaded chicken with yummy butter sauce and green veggies! It’s healthy and perfect for learning how to cook.
