Meyer Lemons Part I: The Quick and the Savory
This is what I call an ideal lemon chicken.
Lemon chicken may be a mainstay of Chinese restaurant menus, but I never order it.
Battered to oblivion, and tossed with a gloppy sauce that tastes more of sugar than citrus, it just doesn’t appeal.
Melissa Clark’s “Sauteed Chicken with Meyer Lemon,” however, is much more my style.
The veteran cookbook author and New York Times food writer does swaps out the deep-frying for stir-frying instead. That means this dish comes together in no time and with no mess.
What’s more, you can really taste the fresh, bright Meyer lemon in this dish.
