Ingredients

  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

  • ½ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed

  • 4 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 cup halved and sliced onion

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Whisk broth, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a measuring cup.

  3. Sprinkle chicken pieces with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish along with broccoli and onion. Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and vegetables; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh registers 165°F, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
