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

Ingredients

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 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.

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. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the broccoli is roasted to perfection, and the lemon sauce is tangy and refreshing. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table that everyone will love.
