Lemon Chicken

Sweet, tangy delicious lemon chicken that finally, FINALLY my family likes.

I haven’t cooked lemon chicken for a long time because well, my family doesn’t like the lemon sauce – it’s too sour they say.

But it was a different recipe that I was using before so I thought I’d give it a try again using a different recipe. It was a hit! YESSSS! Happy family, happy me! 🙂

I’ll add more slurry next time to make the sauce cling to the chicken. I used turmeric powder to enhance the color of the sauce.  I ♥ it!
