Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you use bone-in chicken, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the oven.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your chicken the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, use twice as much.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste. Some popular additions include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and sage.

Conclusion:

Savory lemonade chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve this dish with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
