Chicken with Lemon and Garlic
For a variation on this dish, try using strips of turkey breast or pork fillet. They need slightly longer cooking. The whites of spring onions (scallions) can replace shallots, and the chopped green tops can be used instead of parsley.
Total time: 10 min
Servings: 4
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets
- 8 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 2 Lemons, juiced
- 2 tsp. Paprika
- 4 tbsp. Fresh Parsley, plus extra to serve
- 1/4 tsp. Salt & Black Pepper
- 2 Lemons, wedged, to serve
- Remove the little fillet from the back of each breast portion. If the breast still looks fatter than a finger, bat it with a rolling pin to make it thinner. Slice all the chicken meat into strips.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Stir-fry the chicken strips with the shallot, garlic and paprika over a high heat for about 3 minutes until cooked through.
- Add the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with lemon wedges, garnished with flat leaf parsley.
