Anytime I can whip up a quick dinner that doesn’t leave my sink overflowing with dishes, it’s a win! That’s why one-skillet recipes<\/a>\u2014like this lemon broccoli chicken\u2014are my go-to meals most nights of the week. This one-pan meal requires no special ingredients or equipment, and can be on the table in 35 minutes.<\/p>\n One of the tricks to quick chicken dinners<\/a> is slicing boneless skinless chicken breasts for faster cooking. In this recipe, you’ll lightly coat the sliced chicken with egg and flour, then pan-fry it in butter until it’s golden brown and lightly crispy. After, you’ll deglaze the pan with chicken broth and lemon juice to create a pan sauce. Vibrant broccoli florets steam-cook in the bright lemon butter sauce as it reduces (another time-saving trick).<\/p>\n Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder and paprika. In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Cover all sides of the chicken with the flour mixture for an even texture. Use two pairs of tongs\u2014one for the egg and one for the flour\u2014to prevent clumping.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep it warm.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> To keep the chicken warm, transfer it to an oven-safe dish and set it in a 170\u00b0F oven or cover it with aluminum foil.<\/p>\n Add the chicken broth, lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits. These flavor-packed pan drippings, called fond<\/a>, form when you brown the chicken, and are used to enrich the sauce.<\/p>\n Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Covering the pan traps steam to cook the broccoli florets evenly. If you prefer firm-crisp broccoli, check it for doneness around the five-minute mark.<\/p>\n Serve the broccoli and lemon sauce with the chicken. Pair it with lemon wedges and, if desired, hot cooked rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can either plate the chicken and spoon the broccoli and lemon sauce over it or return the chicken to the skillet for just long enough to toss it with the broccoli and sauce.<\/p>\n Lemon chicken and broccoli have the best taste and texture when served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days.<\/p>\n Reheat it in the microwave or a covered skillet over medium-low heat. Add a splash of lemon juice or chicken broth before reheating; the added liquid will help keep the chicken tender and loosen the sauce.<\/p>\n You can easily make this a gluten-free recipe<\/a> with one ingredient swap. When dredging the chicken, simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or rice flour.<\/p>\n You can most definitely prepare this recipe with vegetables other than broccoli. Sliced zucchini, green beans and asparagus will all pair well with the lemony sauce, but you’ll need to adjust the cooking time since these veggies steam-cook faster than broccoli. You could also swap cauliflower florets, which have a similar texture and cooking time as broccoli.<\/p>\n We recommend pairing this chicken recipe with hot cooked white or brown rice\u2014it’s even better if you scoop the chicken and sauce over the rice so it soaks up all the flavorful liquid! If you’re not hungry for rice, try another starchy side, such as buttered noodles<\/a>, fluffy quinoa or creamy mashed potatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My mom used to make super succulent chicken with broccoli for our family in Montana.
