About this recipe

This lemon garlic chicken is a real staple at our house. It came about from the desire to conjure up a quick, yet aromatic dish that would delight both children and adults. I was inspired by classic Italian cuisine, which often gets by with just a few high-quality ingredients and delivers incredibly delicious results. The list of ingredients is deliberately kept clear. The chicken breast fillet forms the base and is wonderfully seasoned by the marinade of salt, pepper and paprika powder. The fresh lemon slices, which lie on the chicken during cooking, not only give off a great aroma, but also ensure that the meat remains juicy. The garlic, of course in generous quantities, contributes a pleasant spiciness and flavor that harmonizes perfectly with the acidity of the lemon. The tagliatelle from the refrigerated section are ideal because they cook quickly and absorb the creamy sauce perfectly. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to chop the parsley really finely so that it is well distributed in the sauce. When seasoning the chicken, be generous, but make sure that the paprika powder is sweet to avoid a bitter note. Sautéing the shallots and garlic in butter is crucial for the taste of the sauce. You shouldn't skimp here and stick to the time indicated so that the flavors can develop optimally. The cooking liquid that is created when steaming the chicken is worth its weight in gold! It already contains many aromas and gives the sauce a special depth. If you want to prepare the dish vegetarian or vegan, you can simply replace the chicken breast fillet with tofu or halloumi. Instead of cream, you can also use plant-based alternatives such as cashew cream or soy cream. For a different flavor, you can also add fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the sauce. A touch of chili also provides a pleasant spiciness. The lemon garlic chicken tastes best when it is freshly prepared. A green salad or steamed vegetables go perfectly as a side dish. If you like it a little more hearty, you can sprinkle roasted pine nuts or Parmesan over the dish. Leftovers of the dish can easily be stored in the refrigerator. It tastes almost even better the next day, as the flavors have then really infused. To heat up, simply heat in the microwave or in a pan with a little water. The dish can also be prepared well in advance. The chicken can be marinated the day before and placed in the Varoma. The sauce can also be prepared and stored in the refrigerator. Simply heat up before serving and mix with the freshly cooked tagliatelle.
