Delicious fast and easy dinners for two recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Step 2: Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. Step 4: Arrange broccoli florets around the chicken in the baking dish.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender. Chicken internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, perfect for a quick lunch.
  • For best results, reheat chicken and broccoli in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to keep the chicken moist.
  • A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a nice kick if you like a little heat with your lemon-kissed chicken and broccoli.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and broccoli just before serving for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
