The chicken breasts should be cooked through and golden brown on both sides after you add them

This should take about 6-7 minutes per side

Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside

Add minced garlic to the same pan and cook for about one minute, until it smells good

Put butter in the pan and melt it with the garlic

Put broccoli florets in the pan and cook them for about 4 to 5 minutes, until they are soft

Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, and if you want, the red pepper flakes

Use a stir to mix

Put the chicken breasts back in the pan and cook for another two to three minutes so that the flavors can mix

Add chopped parsley as a garnish before serving
