How to Make Chicken And Broccoli Lemon Crisp

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cut 1 large head of broccoli into florets. Steam until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain well.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  7. Arrange the steamed broccoli in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Pour the chicken mixture over the broccoli.
  9. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  11. Top with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
