Ingredients Notes For Lemon Chicken with Butter Sauce:

• Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for quick cooking and easy eating.
• Lemon: Fresh lemon juice and zest bring vibrant citrus notes to the dish.
• Butter: Unsalted butter forms the base of the rich sauce.
• Chicken Broth: Adds depth to the sauce and helps balance the richness of the butter.
• Garlic: Minced for a subtle hint of sharpness.
• Flour: Used to dredge the chicken and thicken the sauce slightly.
• Parsley: Fresh, chopped parsley for garnish, adding color and freshness.
• Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning the chicken and enhancing all the other flavors.

Recipe Steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Make the Lemon Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
   • Add lemon juice and zest, then gradually whisk in remaining butter until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve:
   • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece. Simmer gently for a couple of minutes to reheat the chicken in the sauce.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

What You Need:

What you’ll need to whip up this delicious homemade ice cream is:

2.5 cups, or 500 milliliters mascarpone cheese

around two-thirds of a cup, or 150 grams mixed milk

This is equivalent to around 3/4 cup, or 100 grams. strawberries, diced into little pieces

PREPARATION:

Make sure the whipped cream is chilled before you start preparing the ingredients. Before you start, you may chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours. In addition, after washing, remove the stems and cut the strawberries into little pieces.

To get firm peaks, beat the cold whipped cream in a large mixing basin. Your mixer’s speed will determine how long this process takes.

Toss in the condensed milk with a spatula when the whipped cream has reached room temperature. To avoid changing the texture of the finished product, be cautious not to deflate the whipped cream to an extreme.

Toss in the chopped strawberries once the condensed milk has been thoroughly mixed with the whipped cream. To get a well-rounded flavor, sprinkle them uniformly throughout the mixture.

In a freezer-safe container, make sure the lid fits snugly before transferring the ice cream mixture. To make it even, use a spatula to smooth down the top.

The ice cream should be allowed to freeze for at least six hours, or ideally all night, after placing the container in the freezer. Then it may set up and have that velvety consistency.

Savor the Delight: Pour the ice cream into serving dishes or ice cream cones once it has frozen completely. For an extra decadent touch, top with some chocolate sauce or more fresh strawberries.

Tips & Tricks for the Kitchen

Texture: Puree the strawberries before mixing them with the whipped cream and condensed milk if you like a smoother texture. The ice cream will turn out smoother and more consistent all around as a result.

Variations: Feel free to experiment with other variations of mix-ins, including chocolate chips, almonds, or crumbled cookies. Be careful not to overmix by folding them in too lightly.

Variations in Flavor: Strawberries are a traditional fruit for homemade ice cream, but you can get creative by adding raspberries, blues, or even peaches for a different taste profile.

Make your own whipped cream with heavy whipping cream and a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia.

Condensed Milk: Look for a low-carb substitute for regular condensed milk or whip up a batch at yourself by heating heavy cream and a keto-friendly sweetener until it thickens.
