Lemon Garlic Chicken with Broccoli

Who says a dish has to have a lot of fat to be packed with flavor? The lemon really adds a lot of zing and brings a new twist to everyday ingredients.

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. low-sodium chicken bouillon granules
1 large bunch fresh broccoli, cut into florets

In a medium sauce pan, brown chicken in the canola oil. Add all other ingredients except broccoli and allow to simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Add broccoli and continue to cook until broccoli is just tender. Fantastic over whole grain pasta or brown rice.
