Great meal that's easy, too! This is one of those simple recipes that's as good as the quality of ingredients. Fresh lemon juice and homemade stock (sorry Kitchen Basics brand!) are required here. I would also suggest pounding the chicken breasts to uniform size so they cook evenly. Wasn't paying attention and threw the flour mixture in with the broccoli, so just added the rest and cooked away. It worked just fine. I used a little more stock since I freeze mine in 2 cup portions, and added a couple of cloves of garlic. Flour here is used as a thickening agent and when blended completely with the lemon juice and stock, should not be pasty at all. I agree with Leta, I would add the broccoli right before serving since it can loose that pretty bright green color if overcooked a bit. Great weeknight meal! Thanks for sharing!

    My family didn't care for this recipe. The sauce was strange for us. But that's probably taste preference.

    Excellent meal! I decreased the amount of chicken and increased the broccoli. I also added extra lemon juice and garlic powder. Great meal, thanks!

    This was not as good as I thought it would be but I used bottled lemon juice maybe that made a difference
