2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Broccoli: Steam or microwave the broccoli florets for 3-5 minutes until they’re bright green and tender.
