LEMON CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI



Lemon Chicken with Broccoli image

Here's a super weeknight dinner the whole family will love-and it's ready in just 30 minutes. Thinly slicing the chicken will ensure it cooks quickly and evenly. Covering the pan when the broccoli cooks helps build up steam, bathing the florets in heat and cooking the tops that aren't in contact with the hot pan. You'll need 1 small to medium head of broccoli to produce enough florets and 1 lemon to yield enough zest and juice for this entrée. Round out the meal with a side of angel hair pasta, rice, or couscous to soak up the sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp All-purpose flour
0.5 tsp Table salt divided
0.25 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
12 oz Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s) thinly sliced
2 tsp Olive oil
1.5 cup(s) Fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth divided
2 tsp Minced garlic
2.5 cup(s) Uncooked broccoli small florets
2 tsp Lemon zest or more to taste*
2 Tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
1 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • On a plate, combine 1 1/2 Tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper; add chicken and turn to coat.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Put 1 cup of broth and the garlic in same skillet; bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, scrapping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broccoli; cover and cook for 1 minute.
  • In a small cup, stir remaining 1/2 cup broth, 1/2 Tbsp flour, and 1/4 tsp salt; add this mixture to the skillet and bring it to a simmer over low heat.
  • Cover and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and the lemon zest; heat through.

LEMON CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI



Lemon Chicken and Broccoli image

This recipe is from the April 2005 Chatelaine magazine. I made this for dinner tonight and everyone enjoyed it. We thought that the only improvement that could be made is to this recipe would be to add some sliced mushrooms to the chicken component. A variation would be to use asparagus instead of broccoli and shrimp instead of chicken. This is an excellent sorce of folacin, niacin, thiamine and vitamins B6 and C. The recipe indicated that it serves 3-4 but we had it for dinner 2 days in a row.
