Easy Lemon Chicken -Gluten Free

Submitted by Jubes

"This dish is very easy to prepare. It has pan cooked chicken breast with a lemon sauce drizzled over the top. Ensure your flours, soy sauce and liquid stock used are all gluten free. I use Massell brand stock and Fountain brand soy sauce as they are currently GF. You can substitute the soy sauce for a gluten free Tamari sauce. Nobody would guess this is a GF dish. Make double quantity of the sauce if you like a lot of sauce to serve"

Delicious! I had two chicken breast fillets and three chicken tenderloins in the fridge so I used them all to make this recipe. I used GF plain flour because it was all I had at home but then kept to the written recipe. The chicken was tender and the sauce was wonderful. Thank you **Jubes**

Yum! This recipe is so good! Very easy (I'm usually pretty useless in the kitchen and I managed to pull it off). Tastes very similar to the lemon chicken from my favourite restaurant. Is also a nice recipe when the chicken is replaced with fish. Thank you!

Made For Welcome to Asia -- don't forget your fork, ZWT4 2008. A Quick and delicious recipe. Followed the recipe completely, the chicken was tender and flavourful, and the Lemon sauce, with a little added crushed red pepper flakes, since we like it a little hot, was delightful. Thanks!
