Quick and easy lemon chicken with chilli and basil
When the weather gets warmer the last thing I want to do is stand in my kitchen cooking for hours and this week was no different. I decided to see what I had that I could throw together and this is what I came up with.

Instructions
- I started by putting my pasta on (although this would work with rice if you prefer) I then started by heating the oil and frying the chicken
- Once the chicken is starting to brown throw in the chilli, basil and then the lemon juice, as soon at the chicken is cooked, it's ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
I told you it was quick and easy didn't I ! I served it with pasta and garlic bread but I think it would also work with rice, a side salad would also work! Sit in your garden in the early evening sun and enjoy!
