Lemon Butter Chicken

A very flavorsome chicken meal converted from an oven recipe with Paulene’s advice (thankyou). The original recipe says you will ditch the chicken and drink the sauce…not far wrong. Serve with your preferred sides ( I do it with rice)

  1. mmmmmm la la’s lemon butter chicken is the best, even great done with coconut cream instead of regular cream

  2. I don’t want to dis anyone Recipe because this wasn’t Horrible, but for my family’s palette, it was a little bland, I even added the extra lemon and it just underwhelmed our whole family 7 of us ages 2 through to 41 it just goes to show that we really are all different and a recipe isn’t necessarily
    Good or bad it’s just different for everyone and for us we really like a punch of flavour and this wasn’t for us
