How to Make 4 Points Plus Lemon Chicken With Broccoli
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly with the flour mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 cup chicken broth and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add 1 cup broccoli florets to the skillet.
- Cover and cook for 1 minute, or until broccoli begins to soften.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the flour mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
- Toss to coat and serve immediately. Yields approximately 1 cup per serving (4 points plus).
