Lemon Chicken

[john a]

Chop up a handful of garlic, splash some olive oil in a pan, add a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and S&P to taste. I pound the chicken to a uniform thickness and to tenderize it a little. Once brown I add the juice from one lemon for each breast, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove cover and cook down the liquid.

While the chicken was simmering I made a couple of salads and prepared a red wine vinaigrette dressing.

Add the chicken to the salad and it’s time to eat.

Looks GREAT! But here's where I get in "trouble" - I can see that lemon chicken over a bowl of pasta dripping with Alfredo

It looks great.

Can I use mustard oil instead of olive oil? We never use olive oil in cooking.

Can I prepare it without wine?

Sure, no problem.

It's a red wine vinegar, not really wine but any vinegar should do.

Enjoy,

radhuni - like john said, it is a red wine vinegar. The red wine vinegar was made to use a vinaigrette dressing for the salad; it was not used in the chicken dish.

Thanks

We generally dont use vinegar in our food and also never heard about red wine vinegar.

We got 2 types of vinegar in market

red vinegar: crude vinegar
white vinegar: refined vinegar

So I think I will leave the vinaigrette dressing and prepare a common salad.

Thanks, John, another good looking dish!

Geez, KE, I'm trying to cut down on the amount of pasta I eat, but that sure sounds good!

I just wanted to let you know that I made this tonight and it is EXCELLENT! Thanks for the recipe.

 

[Sedagive]

I made this chicken tonight and it was a winner! I used chicken thighs because that's what I had handy, so they had to cook a little longer than breasts would have, but they were really delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I also made Haselback potatoes and my daughter said they were the best potatoes she ever tasted.

So the chopped garlic that is added to chicken or fish etc. never burns?

I'm going to make this soon, looks delicious...

Just make sure the heat isn't up too high when you cook it.
