Lemon Chicken

Hey everyone!! 

Good Morning!! 

I had a lot of inquiries about the Lemon Chicken I posted on stories last night and I wanted to share!!

I have been making this dinner for a few years now and have made it both in the crock pot AND dutch oven. ( I also have the infamous insta pot which I have yet to use...whoops)

So this can really be made in just about anything. I chose to use the dutch oven because I LOVE how it braises meat.. it truly cooks it super evenly and very quick. I NEVER burn anything in the dutch oven!!! So with that said...

This dinner is literally so quick - It takes all of 15 minutes ( maybe less) to throw together. Cook time is around 2 hours and voila! Dinner! I love to make this dinner for friends who have just had a baby, when I don’t have a lot of time to cook ( which is basically always), or just want something really yummy that is full of vibrant but simplistic ingredients to make for dinner!!!

Here it is!

Ingredients:

4 skin on chicken thighs

juice of one lemon

2 cups chicken stock

1/4 cup flour ( almond flour if you want this to be Keto friendly)

capers

olives

parmesan cheese

cumin

S & P

Method:

Throw some butter in your dutch oven and turn it on medium high heat.

While the butter is simmering, Salt and pepper your chicken evenly and then brown it on both sides. While your chicken is browning go ahead and make the liquid portion of the meal. In a separate bowl combine the flour, cumin, juice of a lemon, and chicken stock and whisk well. 

Once the chicken is browned on both sides pour the stock mixture over as well as a handful of olives and capers...and some of the juice too. Slice a lemon and place on top. Cover and cook on low for two hours.

Y’all thats it!!!! It is so simple!!!

I always garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and parsley as well :) If you are making this a Keto friendly dinner you could serve along side zucchini noodles..but angel hair or linguine goes amazing as well!!!

Enjoy!
