Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cut the chilled chicken breast into random strips, about 4–5 per breast.
Step 2
Season with salt and pepper, grate the lemon zest, and sprinkle it over the chicken.
Step 3
Dredge in flour (any type can be used), or you can skip this step.
Step 4
Slightly fry in olive oil.
Step 5
Squeeze 1/3 of the lemon directly into the pan with the chicken.
Step 6
Pour in about 1 cup of milk or low-fat cream.
Step 7
Add the squeezed lemon wedge to the pan.
Step 8
The cream (or milk) will start to curdle, turning into a delicate ricotta cream; add a bit of butter, taste, and adjust the flavor with salt and honey/sugar.
Step 9
Simmer gently on low heat, constantly turning the chicken in the cream sauce. Cover with a lid, remove from heat, and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Step 10
Serve the chicken on a bed of pesto sauce with a lemon wedge. Side dish is optional.
