Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
8 Broccolini stalks or 2/3 cup chopped fresh broccoli

I sliced regular broccoli into long spears and sauteed with some carrot matchsticks (in butter & olive oil)....instead of leaving raw. Chix was tender and moist...and the crumb-coating? Oooh-la-lah!

Like the other commenter said, not as labor intensive as it first appeared. Quite good. Would be a great dinner for guests. It looks beautiful on the plate.
