Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Prep your ingredients by chopping the broccoli into bite-sized pieces and mincing the garlic.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and sauté until bright green and tender-crisp (5-7 minutes).
Push broccoli to one side and add marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
Toss broccoli with chicken in the skillet to meld flavors together. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
