Autumn Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tsp Cape Malay spice
• 4 chicken breasts
• Flour, for dusting
• 350ml chicken stock
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 250ml sour cream, plus extra to serve
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh chives, to serve

Directions

Lightly dust the chicken in flour and fry in olive oil until just cooked through — don't overcook. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic, and Cape Malay spice until soft and fragrant. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Stir in the sour cream, reduce to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken to the pan along with the lemon slices.

Serve with a salad or orzo pasta, finished with a dollop of sour cream and roughly chopped chives.
