Pan chicken, leftover lemon

The lemon from yesterday still had a half left.

Yesterday's lemon still had a half. That was enough of a reason.

About this much

Adjust until it feels right.

  • Chicken, pounded a little if the pieces are uneven
  • The rest of a lemon
  • Garlic, one clove is enough
  • White wine or a splash of stock — or just water
  • Parsley if it has not gone sad in the bin

Play it

A suggestion, not a command.

  1. 01Season the chicken. Pan hot. Brown both sides.
  2. 02Set it aside. Garlic in the fond for a few seconds.
  3. 03Deglaze with whatever liquid you have. Scrape the pan. That brown is the meal.
  4. 04Lemon in. Chicken back. Let it finish in the sauce.
  5. 05Taste for salt. The leftover lemon is the whole point.
