Chicken breast with lemon in a pan
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This recipe comes from Mediterranean cuisine, where we don't use familiar ingredients like mayonnaise, vinegar, or kefir for the marinade. The necessary tanginess for the meat comes from lemon. First, sear the meat in a pan, then simmer it under a closed lid with lemon. Serve the meat hot, with boiled rice or pasta. The finished dish can now be served.
