Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy meal. If you prefer dark meat, use chicken thighs for a more flavorful dish.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately: Lemon chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The lemon sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you wait to serve it, the sauce may be too thick.
Conclusion:
Lemon chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The bright, tangy flavor of the lemon sauce pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
