Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• ¼ cup dry white wine
• ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• ¾ cup Swanson® Chicken Broth

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Toast the almonds in a 4-quart saucepot over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Remove the almonds from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

In the same saucepot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, broccoli and crushed red pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the wine and broth to the saucepot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from the pot. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 minutes or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

Step 4

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for 2 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. Stir in the lemon zest and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
