LEMON CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI



Lemon Chicken and Broccoli image

This recipe is from the April 2005 Chatelaine magazine. I made this for dinner tonight and everyone enjoyed it. We thought that the only improvement that could be made is to this recipe would be to add some sliced mushrooms to the chicken component. A variation would be to use asparagus instead of broccoli and shrimp instead of chicken. This is an excellent sorce of folacin, niacin, thiamine and vitamins B6 and C. The recipe indicated that it serves 3-4 but we had it for dinner 2 days in a row.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender broccoli: Look for broccoli florets that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make the dish easier to prepare and eat. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give the dish a brighter flavor. You can also use bottled lemon juice, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Add the cashews at the end of cooking: Cashews can burn easily, so it is important to add them at the end of cooking.

Conclusion:

Broccoli Lemon Chicken with Cashews is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the broccoli is crisp-tender, and the cashews add a nice crunch. This dish is also easy to make, and it can be ready in under 30 minutes.
