Jocelyn Delk Adams' warm winter meals
This recipe is one of my cozy meals that I love to pull out during the winter because each bite is more comforting than the last. The combination of chicken and broccoli — along with the savory, creamy sauce — is absolutely irresistible.
The perfectly creamy rice with the hint of citrusy lemon along with the tender delicious chicken thighs makes this recipe such a wonderful dish for Sunday supper or during the week to celebrate something special. It is truly a crowd pleaser.
This is one of my absolute favorite salmon recipes when I need to create a meal for my family in a serious pinch. I grab the four ingredients and this is on the table in 20 minutes or less. Also it uses an air fryer, which is the best appliance for busy families.
