Preparation

Step 1

On a plate, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 teaspoon
of salt and pepper; add chicken and turn to coat.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add
chicken and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned and
cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove to a plate.

Put 1 cup of broth and garlic in same skillet; bring to a boil over
high heat, scrapping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a
wooden spoon. Add broccoli; cover and cook 1 minute.

In a small cup, stir together remaining 1/2 cup of broth,
1/2 tablespoon of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt; add to skillet
and bring to a simmer over low heat.

Cover and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender and sauce is
slightly thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in chicken and
lemon zest; heat through.

Remove skillet from heat and stir in parsley and lemon juice;
toss to coat. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
