My Mother’s Lemony Chicken with Broccoli
My mom used to make super succulent chicken with broccoli for our family in Montana. The few lucky guests invited for supper could not stop raving. —Jessy Drummond, Springfield, Tennessee

It's tasty but cooking the broccoli covered at 10 minutes is too long. It will lose its bright color. Also, the sauce is a bit thin. I would add something sweet such as honey or a bit of sugar to make the sauce syrupy.
VERY GOOD But not worth the effort
This was amazing!!! The flavors were so delicious. I made exactly as recipe states. Perhaps I cut my chicken into smaller strips, which I liked ....but it was a hit with my husband and 2 boys!!!

I just typed chicken, broccoli and lemon into my search engine and came across this recipe. So glad I did! It was delicious - and I love that it has pretty basic ingredients that I already had in the house. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.
Made this tonight for my husband and I and it was a hit! So delicious. Thank you!

Delicious! Made this last night exactly as written. Whole family loved it. We added a bit of Soya Sauce at the table to taste.
I made this last night and we loved it, I used a little more lemon juice and zest and also used smoked paprika since that’s all I had on hand and basmati rice, also side dish of cole slaw and sautéed onions and yellow squash ??
I really enjoyed this.... simple and flavorful. I will definitely make it again
