Tips and Variations

For a more flavorful chicken, marinate the breasts in the lemon juice and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking. Use bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of chicken breasts for a more succulent dish.
For a low-carb option, substitute the chicken broth with white wine. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to round out the meal.
