Here’s a simple and tasty way to make lemon chicken:
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lemon (zest + juice)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey or sugar (optional, balances acidity)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Pat chicken dry, season with salt, pepper, and a little lemon zest.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Make the lemon sauce: In the same pan, add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add lemon juice, honey, and a splash of water or chicken broth. Let simmer 2–3 minutes.
- Combine: Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over, and let it coat the chicken for another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and extra lemon slices. Serve with rice, potatoes, or a fresh salad.
If you want, I can also give you a crispy baked version that’s healthier but just as flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
