LEMON CHICKEN ONE POT RECIPE INGREDIENTS

 

Very simple

 

600 g skinless boneless chicken thigh fillet (I use with skin on, bone in).

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 Knorr Chicken Stock Pot dissolved in 250 ml boiling water

1 teaspoon dried oregano or dried thyme

1 lemon, sliced

80 ml reduced-fat crème fraîche

1 teaspoon runny honey

 

METHOD 1. Heat some oil in a saucepan and fry chicken until lightly browned. Add garlic and fry 1 minute.

2. Add the stock, herbs and lemon. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

3. Remove chicken and whisk in crème fraiche & honey. Boil and reduce until slightly thickened.

4. Replace chicken and reheat.

Serve with cooked pasta or rice or boiled potato and a green salad or veg that you like.

 

Really delicious and thickens nicely with crème fraiche. Reheats well.
