1/2 oz. Roasted Sliced Almonds
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 tsp. Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning

Preparation
Cook the Chicken
Pat chicken dry and season both sides with rotisserie chicken seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.
Cutlet thickness can vary; if you have a thinner cutlet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.
While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

Cook the Broccoli
Break or cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

Add broccoli, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, and garlic salt to hot pan. Cover and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.
Uncover and stir occasionally until tender, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from burner. Season with a pinch of pepper.
While broccoli cooks, continue recipe.
Make Sauce and Finish Dish
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
