Pan-Roasted Broccoli and Chestnuts

Chestnuts aren’t used much in American kitchens, probably because it’s a chore to extract the roasted nutmeats from their tough, leathery shells. Fortunately, packages of cooked chestnuts are now available in most markets, and these creamy nuts add a festive fall flavor and meaty heft to lots of dishes, including this easy preparation. It’s a crowd-pleasing holiday or cold-weather side with an unexpected twist.
