Cooking Steps
• Chop broccoli (including stalk!) into small florets.
• Thinly slice zucchini into sticks.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Slice lemon into wedges.
• Roughly chop capers.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add broccoli and zucchini and cook, tossing, until softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process!
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook chicken until cooked through, 5-6 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• In the last minute of cook time, add capers and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove pan from the heat, then add a generous squeeze of lemon juice.
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
• To the bowl with slightly cooled veggies, add baby spinach leaves and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to combine.
• Divide pan-fried chicken and garlicky veggies between plates.
• Spoon over remaining lemon-caper sauce from the pan.
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
