- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, divided
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 (16-ounce) package fresh broccoli flowerets
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add chicken, and saute until done. Remove chicken from skillet, and set aside.
- Cook broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from heat; drain well, and set aside.
- Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually add milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat, and stir in Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and salt.
