Since I didn’t plan well enough to make the broccolini with the chicken piccata like so many other Barefoot Bloggers did, I made it tonight as a side dish to serve with roast chicken. The broccolini was wonderful! Because it was blanched for only a few minutes and then immersed into an ice water bath, the broccolini was cooked but still crunchy, and the color was a beautiful vibrant green. The flavors of the butter, garlic, and lemon were pronounced but not overwhelming. What a great side dish! Thanks to Mary of Meet Me in the Kitchen for selecting this bonus Barefoot Blogger recipe.
