LEMON CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI
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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. If you're using frozen chicken breasts, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roast the broccoli until it's tender: Roasting the broccoli in the oven will help to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to toss the broccoli with olive oil and salt before roasting to help it brown.
- Make the lemon sauce while the chicken and broccoli are cooking: This will save you time and help you to get dinner on the table faster. Be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the chicken and broccoli with the lemon sauce: Once the chicken and broccoli are cooked, serve them immediately with the lemon sauce. You can also garnish the dish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges for a pop of color.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Solo Chicken Breast and Lemon Broccoli is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family.
