Lemon Broccoli Chicken
Miz Helen's Kitchen
1 1/2 lbs Chicken Tenders
3 medium onions sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
3 cups broccoli florets
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 lemons (1 sliced and 2 juice)
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons fresh or dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
3/4 Roasted Almonds Chopped
 Season  the chicken tenders with 1/2 of the salt, pepper,thyme and red pepper flakes. 
In a hot skillet add the olive oil and brown the chicken tenders. Cook the tenders on medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to rest on a platter.
Add the chicken broth and de-glaze the pan.
Season the onions and broccoli with the remaining salt, pepper,thyme,and red pepper flakes
Add the onions, broccoli,and juice from 2 lemons saute until the onions are clear and beginning to caramelize
Add the sliced lemon on top of the vegetables
Add the chicken tenders on top of the vegetables and lemon
Cover and cook on medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through
Serve with rice and top with chopped roasted almonds
We just love this quick and easy dish, it has a fresh flavor and the almonds add a great crunch.

I sure enjoyed your visit today and hope you can come back real soon. Bring a dish and come join in the fun  for Full Plate Thursday right here at The Country Cottage.

Peace and Joy

    we love lemon chicken! I've never made it from scratch before, I always used a bottled sauce from the store. We haven't had it in a while, since our favorite sauce is no longer available. I'll be trying your recipe soon!
    Thanks!

    Miz Helen, that lemon broccoli chicken looks inviting and tasty! Oh, and I'll take some of that spicy coleslaw, coconut cake, cheese dill biscuits, and lemon pie. Can't tell that I like bread and sweets, can you? LOL! It all looks SO delicious. Happy Sunday!
