EASY MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN RECIPE



Easy Mediterranean Lemon Chicken Recipe image

This lemon chicken recipe is an easy weeknight dinner that will not disappoint. If you have the time, let the chicken marinate in the fridge for a few hours. But if not, letting it marinate at room temperature for just a few minutes will still impart flavor. See suggestions in notes for what to serve along!

Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil,
2 to 3 tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 lb (6 to 7 pieces) boneless skinless chicken thighs, (you can use chicken breast (see notes) )
Kosher salt and pepper
1 large onion (diced)
2 lemons (halved)
Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, add the spices and mix to make the spice mixture.
  • In another bowl or large measuring cup, combine the lemon juice, olive oil and garlic to make the marinade.
  • Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt and pepper and sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides.
  • Place the chicken in a bowl and add the onions. Pour in the marinade and work the chicken a bit to make sure all the pieces are well covered with the marinade.
  • Leave the chicken to marinate at room temperature while you heat up the grill or griddle. OR, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours (or up to 8 hours).
  • When ready, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat (or an outdoor grill over medium-high heat). Do not add oil yet to the pan. Add the lemon halves, flesh side down, and grill briefly. Remove the grilled lemons and set aside for now.
  • Now, brush the pan with a little extra virgin olive oil. Using a pair of tongs, add the chicken pieces in one layer (discard any remaining marinade). Cook for 6 minutes or so on each side or until chicken is well cooked through (you can adjust heat to medium, if needed. If using an outdoor grill, carefully oil the grates and cook the chicken over medium-high heat for the same amount of time. (Chicken's internal temperature should register 165 degrees F).
  • Transfer the grilled lemon chicken to a serving platter. Add the grilled lemons (which you can squeeze for a little more juice), and garnish with parsley. See notes for serving ideas.

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, cooking wine, vinegar and cornstarch. Mix until the chicken is fully coated. Place the chicken and marinade in ziploc bag and squeeze out all the air. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour. If you have time, let it marinate longer.
  • Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil sizzles and shimmers. Add the chicken to the frying pan and stir fry continuously for about 7-10 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Add sugar and stir to coat the chicken for a minute. The melted sugar will caramelize the chicken, which makes it turn brown. Add in lemon juice, lemon zest, honey and soy sauce. Stir well to combine and coat the chicken.
  • In a small bowl, whisk to combine water and cornstarch. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir well until the sauce starts to thicken and forms into a smooth consistency. Mix evenly to coat chicken. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.
