Lemon Chicken and Broccoli

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts cut into strips or chunks
salt & pepper
1 large crown broccoli, washed and cut into florets
¼ cup chicken broth
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
¼  cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup cooked quinoa or cauliflower rice or pasta

Directions:
Salt and pepper chicken strips or chunks. Heat oil in pan and brown chicken at medium-high heat. Remove. 
Add more oil to the pan if necessary and saute onion and garlic on low heat. Once transulent, 5-7 minutes, turn heat up and add cook broccoli. To make the broccoli more tender I added a couple Tbs of chicken stock and covered so it would steam a little.

Combine chicken broth, lemon zest and juice and add to pan. Let simmer for a minute or two. Stir in cheese and serve over quinoa.
