Lemon Chicken and Broccoli Rice

"We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons."

I love the quote above.  It's so true and I have to say lemons are one of my favorite additions to a dish.  They just make everything taste so much fresher that I can't help adding it to everything possible.  Today for lunch I wanted to throw together something fast and healthy and I came up with this and just had to share.  Hope it helps you love lemons as much as me!
