Lemon Chicken with Broccoli

Made this for dinner tonight. It is very good. I will be making it again soon. Very easy and tasty. I did use twice as much lemon as the recipe calls for. I love lemon. I served it over Cauli-rice.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp table salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 12 oz uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 2 1/2 cup(s) uncooked broccoli, small florets
  • 2 tsp lemon zest, or more to taste

Instructions

  • On a plate, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper; add chicken and turn to coat.

  • In a small cup, stir together remaining 1/2 cup of broth, 1/2 tablespoon of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt; add to skillet and bring to a simmer over low heat.
  • Cover and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender and sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in chicken and lemon zest; heat through.
  • Remove skillet from heat and stir in parsley and lemon juice; toss to coat. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
