These lemon chicken bites are perfect for any occasion! A delicious main course that is easy and quick to prepare.

They are an easy, fragrant main course and can be prepared in a short time. They are a quick idea for everyday lunch or dinner, and I think they are also perfect for a lunch with friends, as you can prepare them in advance and slightly reheat them at the last minute, maybe adding a little water.

The lemon juice combined with the flour will create a very delicious sauce, perfect for dipping bread!

If instead of chicken bites you have chicken slices available, you can follow the same procedure to make delicious lemon chicken scallops!

For those who want to use the lemon zest to further flavor the chicken, it is necessary to use absolutely organic lemons and avoid grating the bitter white part of the lemon to not alter the taste of the dish.

A light recipe perfect at any time of year: great in summer. They can be accompanied with a side of your choice of potatoes, raw or grilled vegetables.

In general, white meat is particularly suitable when we want to keep it light, but feel free to choose what to accompany it with.
