Re: Anyone have an easy lemon chicken recipe?
are you looking for lemon chicken, like the chinese dish with the batter coating? Or more of a piccata?
Here are a few ideas:
BBQ Lemonade Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
1 (6ounce) can lemonade concentrate
1 cup soy sauce
1 can pineapple chunks
1 green peppers, cut into chunks
1 pint Cherry tomatoes
Red onions, cut into quarters and leave whole
2 pounds chicken, cubed into 2” pieces
Skewers (Water Soak Wooden skewers prior)
Preparation
Combine all ingredients and let marinate overnight. Place on skewers chicken, peppers, onions, tomatoes, pineapple and grill.
Chicken Piccata
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
flour for dredging
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups sliced mushrooms
Preparation
Lay the chicken between two pieces of waxed paper and flatten each cutlet with the flat end of a mallet until thin.
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet until hot. While the oil is heating, season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge it in flour.
Sauté the chicken over high heat, about 3 minute on each side. Remove to a warm platter and keep warm.
Quickly add mushrooms and lightly sauté. Add the chicken broth to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon to release any caramelized bits that may be stuck to the pan. Cook until the broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and capers. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve. (or to save time add chicken back to lemon mixture and add some veggies to cook in sauce.)
NOTE: You may have to sauté the chicken in two batches. If so, use a clean pan for each batch. Make the sauce in one of the pans.
