Step 1
Start by melting a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the cubed chicken and cook it just until the outside turns white. Then add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms, and sauté everything until the onions start to look translucent. Pour in enough Italian dressing to coat the chicken and veggies, stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice, cover the pan, lower the heat to low, and let it simmer while you prepare the sauce.

Step 2
For the sauce, combine the cream of chicken soup and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Warm it gently—don’t let it boil. Once it’s hot, stir in four tablespoons of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice at the end to keep the sauce smooth and shiny, avoiding any curdling.

Step 3
While the sauce is warming, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles until they’re tender, about eight minutes. Drain them well.

Next, set up a steamer basket inside a saucepan with about an inch of water, a tablespoon of butter, and the remaining two teaspoons of lemon juice. Bring it to a boil, add the broccoli, cover, and steam for about five minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

Step 5
To serve, toss the noodles with the sauce and spread them out on a platter. Pile the chicken in the center and arrange the steamed broccoli around the edges. Enjoy!
