Lemon Chicken and Broccoli

February 15, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How was your Valentine’s Day?  I’m writing this in advance so I don’t know how mine went, but I can tell you my Husband and I checked out a new Italian restaurant that opened in our neighborhood.  I have to say the prices were great but we were disappointed   We both ended up with a stomach ache when we got home.  The food was ok, but not great, at least not worth a stomach ache.  I can handle a stomach ache if the food was superb!  I know how stupid huh?  Well I like good food no matter what the consequences are.  lol   Needless to say, my guess is we won’t be going there anymore.  My Husband told me it was my early Valentine’s Dinner.  Not fair!!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

I have to tell you I am pretty stoked!  I got some new cookware that was so needed.  You have no idea, how bad I needed a new frying pan!  Wait till you see the picture!  Your going to laugh and think what the heck!  Maybe you have noticed for the past couple of months, I have only baked, grilled and crockpot my meals for you.  I refuse to use my frying pan, not only is it gross, its not safe!   So I got a Wild Orange 9 1/2″ skillet from Silit!  I love my new frying pan!  It’s easy to clean, fun color, it’s energy sufficient and Heat-resistant glass lid for water-reduced!    I am in love!!!  You have to love the orange color, it’s so me!!!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken


Plus, while I was at it, I got these 5 piece, Crazy Yellow Silit Mini MAX set!   I got one 1 – 2qt High Casserole with lid, 1 – 2qt Stockpot with lid, 1 – 6 inch Fry and Serve Pan, and 2 – Glass lids / Universal size.  They are so cute and perfect for cooking for my Husband and I.  These babies are Nickel-free, anti-bacterial, neutral to taste – for cooking, serving and storing foods the gentle way, Heat-resistant glass lid with high-quality stainless steel rim, energy sufficient,  oven proof and easy to clean!  You gotta love all of that!!

Lemon and Brocolli Chicken

Plus they stack so nicely in my cupboard!!  I was really on a crazy color kick!  I love to have fun in the kitchen!  Plus with my mini kitchen makeover this gives me more storage space and I need that big time!  I still have food in boxes on my counter!  I can’t wait for the kitchen to be done!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

I bet you’re wondering, what about my pan I was using?  I’m a little embarrassed to show you, but hey it’s the truth!  This is just one pan, I have two others that look the same way, that made their way into the trash this week!!  Believe me, I have not used them in months!  I should have gotten rid of them a long time ago!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

Now can you see why I needed a nice new frying pan?  So gross!  So embarrassing !  Now let’s get to some good, healthy food!!!  Today I made for you my easy, quick Lemon Chicken with Broccoli.  This dish comes together in about 10 minutes!!  Perfect for a quick dinner!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

My boss gave me a ton of lemons to use, and let me tell you they are the biggest lemons I have ever seen.  I know lemons grow big in California  but this maybe a little to big!  Check out this lemon!  I put a regular lemon next to it, so you can see!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

Crazy, huh?  Have you ever seen such a big lemon?  He gave me some lemons that were even bigger!!  And oddly enough they tasted good!  Plus they were perfect for adding to my dinner!  I saved the left over juice for my morning hot water and lemon.  I like to drink that every morning before anything else.  It cleans and detoxifies your kidneys and liver.

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

After my trip to Vegas and holiday treats, it was time to get down to a nice healthy meal and I have say, I am very pleased with it.  The chicken was tender, with just enough seasoning and has a nice zing to it from the lemons!  Plus I love the broccoli with it.  It compliments the chicken perfectly.  My Husband wasn’t to thrilled with broccoli with our dinner, but hey, it’s good for you and I LOVE it!!  I’m a HUGE broccoli fan!  though Trader Joe’s could have sold me more green color broccoli, but it still tasted good!

Lemon and Broccoli Chicken

It’s time to get healthy!  After my Doctors appointment, I kept hearing, well at your age, you need more calcium, at your age you need more fiber!  Geez!  How old did he think I was?  Anyway the good old Doc was right!  My goal has been and will be even more to be healthier!  I have lots of fruit and vegetables in the refrigerator  so I hope you will join me on some healthy eats!  I’m really trying and though it can be hard sometimes, I know I can do it and I know you can do it!!!  Heck, I want to look semi-normal in my bathing suit this summer!  🙂

Have a great day everyone and a fabulous weekend!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.  If your interested in the new pots and pan set I got, you can check out all of the cookware from Silit.  I will tell you this is good, heavy duty stuff!!!

    I’m from Southern California and those look like good lemons! The joy of living there is that lemon trees grow so well in backyards and the lemons so often grow to gigantic, deformed sizes! Great recipe

      I was surprised how good the menons were. Lots of good flavor. I figured they would be bland, but they weren’t. Now I just need to find gigantic oranges! I like lemons, but I am on a major orange kick! 🙂

    Wow! Those lemons look amazing. I wish I could have fruit trees, but most die in Michigan durng the winter [and I dont get enough sunlight for any others]. Your new pans look awesome, too! Love the colors.

      I love fruit trees, but they can be so messy! I’d rather go to the Farmers Market and pick up some nice fresh fruit there or have friends give it to me! 🙂

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was outstanding! I added mushrooms and let them cook covered with the chicken and broccoli for 5+ minutes at the end but it came out great! I just sent a bunch of my friends the link 🙂
    Thanks for sharing!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
