LEMON CHICKEN SCALLOPS are a very tasty main dish. It is prepared in a few minutes and with very few ingredients. The meat stays very tender.
Served with a slice of lemon, they are also suitable when we have guests but don’t want to spend the evening at the stove, as the meat remains soft even if prepared in advance.
Alternatively to chicken, we can use pork loin or veal slices and for a more delicate taste, you can add a teaspoon of honey to the lemon juice.
Try them and you won’t stop making them.
