Notes and variations
– If you don’t have a whole chicken breast available, you can also use chicken breast slices, cutting them into strips. Then proceed according to the recipe. If you prefer, you can also use this recipe’s lemon cream to dress whole chicken breast slices.
– If you want a milder taste of the lemon cream, use only part of the grated zest or omit it.
– Instead of basil, you can also use parsley or fresh basil.
– If you want to prepare gluten-free lemon chicken bites, you can omit the flour in the breading or use cornstarch or a light breading with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Another alternative for cooking gluten-free lemon chicken bites is to use cornflour: this will make them crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
– With the same lemon cream procedure, you can also prepare the orange variant.
