Veggie-Chicken Toss With Lemon Herb Sauce image

This is the recipe I came up with for "Ready Set Cook". It has a slightly tangy lemon taste that my husband just loved. Hope you like it!

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 chopped garlic clove
1 red potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 lemon, zest of
3/4 cup broccoli

Steps:

  • Chop chicken into bite sized pieces, and season with salt, pepper, rosemary and basil.
  • Heat some olive oil in a medium skillet, and add the chicken, chopped onion, and garlic; cook until chicken is thoroughly cooked, and onions are caramelized.
  • Remove from skillet and set chicken aside.
  • Meanwhile boil a pot of water, and chop the potato into bite sized pieces.
  • Add potato to the water, and boil about 8-10 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
  • In another pot, pour some shallow water in the bottom, and allow to boil; place a steamer over the water, then add the chopped broccoli and allow to steam, covered.
  • Meanwhile, in the pan that the chicken was cooked in, add the butter, allow to melt, then add the flour, stirring until flour is incorporated.
  • Add the white wine to the flour (carefully) then add the chicken broth, the bouillon and the zest of half a lemon.
  • Stir constantly, until the bouillon is mixed in, and the sauce has thickened a bit.
  • Add the drained cooked potatoes to the boiling sauce (this will thicken it even more) and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
  • After the sauce has thickened add the chicken, and the steamed broccoli, and toss until well coated.
  • Garnish with a slice of lemon, and fresh basil.
