  In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

• 6

  Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for an additional 60 seconds until fragrant.

  Return the chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables and fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
