This was incredibly easy to put together and it was the perfect serving size for four adults. I served it with rice and it was definitely a hit! The broccoli was not cooked all the way through, so it was crispy and very "lemony". The sauce on the chicken was a little sweet, which complimented the broccoli well. I would definitely make this again.
