Jump in the Pan Chicken

Submitted by Aunty Dotty

"If you love lemon, I think you'll love this! Its very quick and easy, a perfect midweek meal actually. Be careful with the amount of flour that gets cooked on the chicken, as it can make the finished dish a bit 'gluggy'. But you can always squeeze more lemon on to loosen the sauce.. I think this a Jill Dupleix recipe ( her's are always great! ) Feel free to muck around with it, as it's a pretty loose recipe.."

I did use chicken thighes (skiness/boneless) for this recipe and allowed a little estra time for the cooking (I Quartered 5 chicken thigh fillets though some sectiions were cut into thirds rrther than halves and served over bow tie p;asta and overall the flavours were good but I thought a little salty so woulld cut back of the ca[ers fopr personal taste but the DM and DS immensely enjoyed, made for PAC Springn 2012.
