Lemon Chicken
We love Lemons. We love chicken. We love garlic and Rosemary. So it was a no brainer that we love Lemon Chicken. But, like mostly, I didn't like 1 specific recipe so I threw 2 recipes together - again.
Well, you benefit from my experiments lol. Here it goes.
This is what you need:
For the Marinade:
- Chicken parts
- 2 gloves of Garlic, small diced
- 1 zest of a Lemon and 8 TBSP of Lemon juice
- 6 TBSP Olive Oil
- 3 TBSP Rosemary
- Salt and Pepper
For the cooking part:
- 100 gr Bacon, diced
- 1 Onion, diced
- 125 ml white wine
- 125 ml chicken broth
- 100 gr Sour cream
- Juice of 1/2 Lemon
- 100 gr sour cream mixed with 1 TSP sugar for the very end
This is how you do it:
If you have a whole chicken, divide it into pieces. If you just use chicken pieces, just add them into a big ziplock bag. To the chicken add the Lemon zest and juice, Olive oil, garlic, Rosemary and salt and pepper. Let it sit in the fridge. The longer the better.
Take the chicken out of the marinade. In a big pan, fry the Bacon until crispy. Remove. Add the Onion and on medium high until Onion and translucent. Remove from pan. Now pan fry on hot with the Bacon drippings the chicken parts, until chicken is slightly browned. Add the Bacon and the Onions back to the chicken.
Pour over the chicken now the white wine and the chicken broth and the 100 gr of sour cream. Stir and cover and simmer for about 30 min..
Once the chicken is cooked, add the rest of the sour cream with the TSP sugar and the Lemon juice to the sauce. Adjust the Salt if necessary. We love to eat garlic bread with it. Also, some vegetables like Broccoli are good but you can also just serve a green lettuce.
