Ingredients

  • 2 cup broccoli florets

  • 4 medium carrots, cut lengthwise into strips

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 medium boneless skinless boneless chicken breasts (1-1/4 pounds total), cut lengthwise into thirds

  • ½ of a medium red onion, cut in thin wedges

  • ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 15 ounce can great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel

Directions

  1. Fill a 3-quart saucepan about 2/3 full with water; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to boiling; add broccoli and carrots. Boil 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain vegetables and place in bowl of ice water to stop cooking. When cool, drain; set aside.

  2. Heat oil in a very large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Remove from skillet; set aside.

  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add beans, broth, lemon peel, vegetables, and chicken. Cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through. Makes 4 servings.
