One-Pan Lemon Butter Chicken and Broccoli
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cups broccoli florets
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, chicken broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat in the lemon butter sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the lemon butter sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Serve the lemon butter chicken and broccoli immediately, spooning any remaining sauce over the top. Enjoy!
