Content notes

Chicken breast- For this recipe I used boneless and skinless chicken breasts. Feel free to replace it with boneless, skinless chicken drumsticks, but make sure you cut them into 1 1/2 inch pieces so they can cook evenly.
Broccoli- Similar to chicken breast, it is important that we cut the broccoli into flowers of equal size (up to 1 1/2 inches).
Lemon pepper– It is a mixture of spices made from dehydrated lemon peel and black pepper. I used the McKormick brand, but if you want to make your own here is a kind one Homemade lemon pepper recipe.
