Ingredients for Soft and Creamy Lemon Chicken
I chose boneless chicken thighs (the tenderest cut), but feel free to use whichever cut you prefer. Also, by using rice flour, the sauce becomes thick, velvety, and naturally gluten-free. If you don’t have specific needs, you can replace it with your usual flour.
- 8 chicken thighs, skinless, raw (and boneless)
- as needed rice flour (or your preferred one)
- 1 Lemon
- Half cup water
Tools
I used a non-stick pan (I love it because I can also make my Water Chocolate Cake cooked in a pan with great success), in case you’re interested, I leave the link below.

Steps for Soft and Creamy Chicken
Flour each piece of chicken. Squeeze the lemon and keep the juice ready.
In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil. When it is hot, place the chicken and let it brown well for about 2 minutes on each side until it turns color.
Season with salt and pepper.Now pour in the lemon juice and then the half cup of water. The flour on the chicken will thicken the liquid immediately.
Lower the heat to minimum, cover with a lid, and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has become a nice thick cream.If it dries too much, add a splash of water.
When ready, turn off the heat, serve immediately, and if you like, add a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
