Instructions

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until lightly browned on the outside. Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms and sauté until the onions soften. Pour in enough Italian dressing to lightly coat the chicken mixture, then add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer while preparing the sauce.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cream of chicken soup with milk. Heat gently, avoiding boiling. Once heated through, stir in 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Be cautious with the lemon – adding it too early may cause curdling. The desired result is a smooth, glossy sauce.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until tender, approximately 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
Place a steamer basket into a saucepan and add one inch of water, 1 tablespoon of butter, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then add the broccoli. Cover and steam for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet still vibrant green.
To assemble the dish, combine the sauce and noodles, then arrange them on a serving platter. Place the chicken mixture in the center and surround it with the steamed broccoli.
