Lemon Chicken and Broccoli

I’m always looking for new chicken recipes because basic grilled chicken can get so boring. This recipe makes 4 servings and it’s only 3 points each! I paired my dinner with 2 oz. whole wheat pasta for an additional 3 points. I didn’t use exact measurements so mine came out a little lemony, but I really think this recipe has potential. I’d love to try it again and not put so much lemon in!

Here is a link to the recipe from  weight watchers online, or I’ve typed it out below!

2 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

12 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 tsp olive oil

1 1/2 cups fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth

2 tsp minced garlic

2 tsp lemon zest

2 tbsp parsley

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

On a plate, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper; add chicken and turn to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove to a plate. Put 1 cup of broth and garlic in same skillet; bring to a boil over high heat, scrapping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Add broccoli; cover and cook 1 minute. 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.

This is what mine looked like when it was done! Happy eating everybody!
