lemon and garlic chicken

to make lemon and garlic chicken you will need

    500g-1kg chicken breasts or thighs
    1tsp salt
    1 onion, chopped
    5 cloves of garlic, minced
    185ml chicken stock
    1tsp dried parsley
    ¼ tsp paprika
    juice from one lemon
    4 tsp cornflour (2 syns)

Three things:

    you get a ridiculous amount of chicken in all of our meat deals with Musclefood – have a gander, see what you think (it’ll open in a new window)
    don’t get yourself stinky fingers – mince your garlic with a microplane grater, you don’t need to piss about taking the skin off the garlic either – click here for the one we use
    finally, if you want an Instant Pot on Amazon, they’re currently reduced – see!

to make lemon and garlic chicken you should:

    switch the instant pot to saute, add a bit of oil and chuck in the onions, cook for about 5-10 minutes or so until they start to brown
    add everything else to the pot minus the cornflour, and give a good, gentle stir
    put the lid on, make sure the vent is set to ‘sealing’ and press the ‘poultry’ button – it should cook for fifteen minutes at high pressure
    when finished, allow it to either release pressure naturally or use the ‘quick release’ (we did the latter because we couldn’t wait)
    use a mug or a small pot to scoop out a small amount of liquid and stir in the cornflour
    remove the chicken from the pot (tongs are best for this), stir in the cornflour mix and whisk or stir until thickened
    serve! We had rice, topped with a couple of chicken thighs and then spooned over some sauce – lovely!
