Skinny Lemon Chicken with Broccoli


Skinny Lemon Chicken with Broccoli
Servings: 4
Time it'll take: about 45 mins

What you'll need:
  • 1 large Lemon
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (4-6 oz. each)
  • 1 medium White Onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp. minced Garlic
  • 2 packets Swanson Flavor Boost Concentrated Chicken Broth
  • 1 Ziplock Steam Bag
  • 3 cups fresh Broccoli florets (about 1 crown)

What to do:
  • Using a zester or grater, zest/grate 1 tbsp. of lemon peel.  Then, squeeze about 1/4 cup juice from the Lemon.  Set both aside.
  • Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add Chicken breasts to pan and cook until browned on all sides, 8-10 mins.  Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add Onion and Garlic to pan.  Stir for 2-3 mins, until onions are translucent.
  • Stir in Flavor Boost packets and Lemon Juice, and heat for 1 min.
  • Return the Chicken to the pan and reduce heat to low-medium.  Cover and cook about 20 mins., until chicken is cooked through. 
  • While it's cooking, place Broccoli florets into Steam Bag, and cook in microwave for 2 mins.  Remove and let cool.
  • After 20 mins, remove cover and stir in Broccoli and Lemon Zest.  Re-cover and cook another 3-5 mins, until everything is heated through.
  • Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste, and serve!
Serve with a starch side, like potatoes, stuffing (mmm!), or rolls.

ENJOY!
