Chicken in Lemon and Garlic Sauce

Save

Yes, this Chicken in Lemon and Garlic Sauce is a dish made in the oven. Surely you'll be thinking that I've lost the last screw left to me by suggesting a recipe baked in the middle of this heat.

What you do not know is that this is one of my favorite tricks to spend as little time as possible in the kitchen. Unless you decide to eat from a restaurant (or inn) every day, cooking is inevitable. You will see that it is a good idea.

Cooking several dishes that require your constant attention in the kitchen is even more uncomfortable. With this I simply put everything in the oven and return when it's time to serve. In addition to this, preparing it to take to the oven barely takes a few minutes. Better from there is damaged.

Once you try this way of cooking your meals you will also become a fan. Imagine a sophisticated meal, which looks refined and only takes a few minutes of preparation and you leave the rest of the work in the oven. It's like having a chef at home.

This is not the first dish of this type that I share with you, you will remember the roast of stuffed pork , or the rice with chorizo baked a few months ago. This is the same concept: a complete meal in one step. You can vary the accompaniment according to your preference, although this Chicken in Salsa de Limón y Ajo loved it.

¿ Lime or lemon ? We Dominicans are not the only ones who use one name for the other.
