Chicken Breast with Lemon & Garlic

by Wilma Koekoek

Light & healthy - and easy to make! Great with mashed potatoes and steamed green veggies.

Ingredients (for 4 persons)

  • 4 chicken breasts (without skin)
  • 1 untreated (bio) lemon
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbs butter
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 3 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt & pepper

Preparation 

  • Slowly heat the butter & the oil in a frying pan. When the butter’s brown, add the chicken and bake for at least 10 minutes on each side.
  • Meanwhile, finely slice the garlic and scrape the lemon with a zester. Squeeze one half of the lemon.
  • Take the chicken out of the pan and keep it warm under alu foil. Fry the garlic slices for 30 seconds in the remaining fat. Then add 2 tbs of water, the lemon zest and juice and the parsley. Warm through for 1 minute. Season to taste.
  • Serve the chicken with the garlic mixture on top.

Tip

To get as much juice as possible from a lemon: heat the fruit for 10 seconds in the microwave at max power. (This does not affect the taste.)
