HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

2 ½ cups chicken broth
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 lemons
dash of salt & pepper

HOW DO I MAKE ONE POT LEMON HERB CHICKEN BROCCOLI & RICE?

STEP 1: In a large Dutch oven, begin to heat olive oil. Season the chicken with salt & pepper. Feel free to use a large pot or deep skillet if you do not have a Dutch oven.

STEP 2: Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and brown on both sides, then transfer to a plate. The chicken breasts will not be cooked through at this point, but do not worry...we will return them to the pot.

STEP 3: Lower the heat to a low. Add the broth, rice and Italian seasoning to your pot. Scrape the bottom to remove any stuck pieces of chicken. Let the rice cook for 2-3 minutes, then return the chicken to your pot, along with chopped broccoli.

STEP 4: Top everything with the juice of 1 lemon. Slice the second lemon and add to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
