Lemon Chicken

We had this for dinner tonight and it was lovely.
It's been ages since I used my varoma.
I used chicken breast, so reduced the cooking time as I didn't want it to become dry.
We had it with rice and vegies.

Plenty left over for lunch tomorrow.
Thanks for another great recipe Chookie! 

[Amy :-)]

Katie, I will probably use breast when I do this recipe too. How much did you reduce the cooking time by?

Yum! Miss 11 did a My Kitchen Rules night and did this for the main. Very nice indeed!

[Amy :-)]

What were your other courses Nikki? Did you get a good score from the judges?

[Nikkit]

At "The Fairy Finale" (Finale has the little flicky thing on the 'e'  and I don't know how to do that!) Instant Restaurant Entree was Caremlised Onion Tart, main was Lemon Chicken served with steamed rice and a baby spinach salad and dessert was mixed berry eton mess.
Miss 11 (the fairy fanatic) did a lot (and it was darned good too!) and her scores were pretty high - "Manu" (my Aunty) gave scores of 18 out of 10, 23 out of 10 and 15 out of 10 along with her version of what Manu would have said! (which was hilarious! And I think the scores were so high because my aunty does all the cooking at her house - no-one ever cooks for her, so she just loved it) 
"Pete" (my Mum) gave lower scores ("Manu" thought she was a bit harsh!) 15, 12 and 8 out of 10.
Miss 11 had set the table all on her own, did the plating up (as apparently I am no good at that side of things  ) and was very serious about the whole evening, she is busting to do a MKR with me!
You should have seen the state of the kitchen when we had finished - thank goodness the judges decided they had better help with the dishes!

sounds like a fun night

Nikkit,  did Miis 11 follow the instructions as written?   I may have taken more trouble with the writing if I thought kiddies were going to follow the recipe.  Sounds like good fun.

Have just read your comments.  Sounds like a good time was had by all.  A budding chef there.

6 people have made your recipe already Chookie, it deserves the title 'recipe of the week' 

[achookwoman]

OK Judy, new category.    Easy,  cheap and tasty. Ha Ha.    Might encourage more people to use the Varoma.

I cooked this again without adding any salt. It was fantastic and easy.
I doubled the recipe in two bowls and used drumsticks with skin on and thigh fillets with no skin.
It was very tasty and is now a favourite.
Thank you Chookie.

[Wonder]

This is on our menu plan for this week. Can't wait to try it.

Bootobethin,  glad you have solved the salt issue.  Good to know that the chicken legs work.

Nikki, that sounds like a wonderful night Miss 11 is certainly very keen, maybe when she is older you can apply for MKR

Katie, I will probably use breast when I do this recipe too. How much did you reduce the cooking time by?

Sorry Amy only just saw this - I cooked it for around 10 minutes less.  I cut the chicken breast into quite large pieces, hoping it might not dry out.  It wasn't dry at all.

I cooked rice in the basket at the same time, once the rice was cooked I placed it in my Thermoserver and continued steaming the chicken.

The left-overs where nice for lunch at work today.
