Lemon Chicken Recipe
In the few last years lots of people stopped eating chicken because of the rumors about the antibiotics or gmo food given to the chickens. However, chicken meat is an important source of vitamins and minerals.
It is true that industrially produced chickens probably threaten human health, but this is not a reason to give up chicken meat entirely. There are reliable, organic brands. You can find good or bad versions of every food and chicken too. We do not stop eating fruits because they use pesticides, we try to find and eat the best, it is useful to do the same for the chicken.
If we come to the recipe... It is an easy to make chicken recipe. It will destroy the prejudice that chicken breast is something dry and tasteless. Of course, it is necessary to pay attention to some points. What makes chicken breast dry is generally overcooking, rather than undercooking. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful about removing chicken from heat before it dries, especially during the frying process. Chicken breasts are easily cooked as they are cut into thin slices. If both sides are cooked until beautifully browned, it will also be cooked inside. You do not need to cook it long after adding the sauce ingredients. It is enough to simmer it 15 minutes on low heat, just to set the sauce.
