How to Make Lemon Chicken And Broccoli
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound pasta (your choice of shape) and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- While pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables: Cut 1 large head of broccoli into florets and slice the stalks thinly. Core, seed, and thinly slice 1 red bell pepper.
- Slice 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until lightly golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- About 2-3 minutes before the pasta is done, add the broccoli and bell pepper to the boiling water. Cook until tender-crisp.
- Drain the pasta and vegetables. Return them to the pot or a large bowl.
- Add the juice of 1 large lemon to the pasta. Stir to coat evenly.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
