Members, kick off the week with an Italian dish that's easy, delicious, and guaranteed to liven up your weeknight meals! Introducing the Italian-style Lemon Chicken – a vibrant dish made with fragrant ingredients, including garlic, capers, olives, and lemons that give it that delicious zesty flavour you won’t be able to resist.
Here are the ingredients you need:
1. Three chicken breast fillets, halved horizontally
2. 100 grams of butter, chopped
3. Two garlic cloves, crushed
4. 50 grams of drained baby capers
5. Three lemons, zested, juiced
6. A tomato, finely chopped
7. A red onion, finely chopped
8. One-third a cup of pimento-stuffed olives, thinly sliced
9. 50 grams of fetta, crumbled
10. Half a cup of flat-leaf parsley leaves
To get started, take a piece of chicken and place it between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound until it's 1.5 cm thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces and make sure to season them well.
Heat a large flameproof roasting pan over high heat. Add 20 grams of the butter and let it melt in the pan. Then, add the chicken fillets and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and just cooked through. Carefully transfer the chicken fillets to a large heatproof plate, and cover them with foil to keep them warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the same pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes before adding garlic, capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir everything to combine. Return the chicken fillets to the pan. Cook for a few more minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
In the meantime, mix together the tomato, onion, olives, and feta in a bowl. Once the chicken fillets are ready, top them with the tomato mixture and parsley and serve warm. Give this recipe a try today and don’t forget to share it with your friends and family. Bon appetit!
