Inspired by a classic Italian dish, this lemony chicken was an instant favourite in our house. The traditional recipe usually has a rich butter sauce, but we’ve pulled out a few slimming-friendly swaps to make our version nice and light. If you love citrusy sauces, this one’s for you – the lemons become so soft you can eat them, and add so much flavour!

Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Swap This

You can use white wine instead of a white wine stock pot. Replace the white wine stock pot with 100mls medium or dry white wine and use 350mls boiling water instead of 450mls to make up the chicken stock pot. If you do this you will need to adjust the calories accordingly

NEW TIP
Well worth that little extra effort for such a delight.
Keep an eye on your chicken as I didn't feel they needed the full 25 minutes per the recipe for the hob-top cooking method. Used my favourite pasta, Bucatini which was equally good substitute.
A dish for the whole family!
If you want even more punch and pops of flavour in every mouthful swap the capers in brine for salted nonpareille capers.
Chicken Piccata
Halved the ingredients for two of us. Really tasty cooked for a bit less than the last 10 minutes as the sauce was lovely and thick and the chicken was piping hot.
Delicious
I used white wine instead of the wine stock
Indulgent but light
I doubled the sauce and adjusted calories for more sauce. Would be good as a Chinese lemon chicken without the capers and served with rice.
When I make it again I will definitely put some veg in there for a bit of colour.
Delicious
Used thighs instead of breast, much juicier!
