Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 100 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Onion (chopped)
- 2 cups Chicken broth (HCG-compliant, low sodium)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the chicken breast under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken into small bite-sized cubes.
Trim and rinse the broccoli florets. Set them aside.
Heat a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Spray with a thin layer of cooking spray (optional, ensure it is HCG-compliant).
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add the cubed chicken to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
After 10 minutes, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Stir well to combine.
Add a splash of lemon juice for a fresh, tangy note.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool slightly before serving.
Serve the soup hot and enjoy a flavorful, Phase 2-compliant meal!
