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.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley and lemon juice; toss to coat.
  • Serving size: 1 cup

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 8 ounces each), sliced in half horizontally
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small bunch fresh thyme, leaves chopped
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 9-ounce bag spinach

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with the dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Working in batches, dredge the chicken in the flour and add to the pan; saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with aluminum foil.
  • Add the red onion and fresh thyme to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the wine, chicken broth and the juice of 1 lemon in a bowl. Turn the heat under the pan to high and deglaze with the broth mixture, scraping up the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid starts to reduce, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, put the spinach in a microwave-safe dish and add 3 tablespoons water; cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until hot and wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, the juice of the remaining lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a platter and top with the chicken. Spoon the sauce on top.
