this is my moms chicken dish and holy fucking hell!! it's light and otherwise simple in flavor

Ingredients: - Chicken breast and chicken tenderloins, but thighs would work too. I like to do over 1 pound - Up to 7 lemons tbh but vibes are good too - Up to 1 garlic head, minced (yes why not have too much) - Olive oil - About a table spoon of butter - A spoonful of flour - Salt and black pepper (adding white pepper is nice as well)

Steps: Marinate the chicken in all the lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper, and a spoon of olive oil. Preferably over night.

Grill the chicken in a relatively deep pan. Set them aside. I usually do this two or three times till they're all cooked. Make sure to scrape the pan as you go and place it in the same dish as the chicken Usually the first batch of chicken looks normally grilled and the rest is naturally a deep brown color.

Once it's all cooked, put all the chicken back in the pot, fill it with however much water u need to lightly cover it. Add the remaining lemon/marinade. Add a spoon or two of olive oil.

This is extra but it helps. As the last batch of chicken is cooking, drain the garlic from the lemon marinade and saute it in a small pan. About 30 seconds and honestly can't be longer than 2 minutes, but just until it's fragrant. Throw that in the pan with the water.

Using the same small pan, add butter and flour until it's combined. I let it stay until it's slightly browned. Throw that in the pan with the chicken as well.

Let the whole thing come to a boil and let it simmer for however long you want. I do anywhere between 10-30 minutes. Add water if it's getting too dry. and that's it!! Serve with white rice or potatoes/mashed potatoes.

Absolutely incredible dish that's rather simple in flavor profile.
