Baked Lemon Garlic Chicken with Steamed Broccoli

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 lemons
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil
• 4 cups broccoli florets

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and season them generously with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
3. Cut one lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken breasts. Drizzle a little olive oil over them as well.
4. Slice the other lemon into thin slices and arrange them on top of the seasoned chicken breasts.
5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
6. While the chicken is baking, steam the broccoli florets. You can either use a steamer basket on the stovetop or microwave them in a covered microwave-safe dish with a little water for about 4-5 minutes until tender.
7. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Serve the baked lemon garlic chicken with the steamed broccoli on the side.

Flavor profile: The chicken will be juicy and tender with bright citrus flavors from the lemon and a subtle garlicky aroma. The steamed broccoli will provide a fresh and nutritious accompaniment. Enjoy your quick and easy chicken and broccoli meal!
