This recipe is so delicious that you will surely try it with other ingredients too. Once you taste it, there is no looking back. I have even added the video recipe below. Do check it out, I am sure you will be tempted to try the dish asap.

The garlic lemon chicken recipe is so easy and yet to amazingly delicious. This can be a perfect dish for the party table. We add lot of garlic and lots of lemon. Both the ingredients totally elevate the taste of this lehsuni nimbu murgh.

This recipe was given to me by my aunt and I must really thank her for that. She had mentioned that it stays good for a week in the refrigerator. Though I am not sure of it, as everything was wiped off within a day. I couldn’t really check if it does stay good for that time.

Do watch out for the space here as I am going to try the same with mutton too. I am sure it would taste awesome with the mutton.

Try to use fresh garlic and fresh lemon juice. As the ready made garlic paste and the lemon juice comes along with preservatives, the taste would slightly vary. The freshly ground garlic would fill your home with amazing aroma.

The garlic lemon chicken recipe could be served along with rice or roti. As we have a good amount of curry in it, it tastes awesome with both. I have served it along with khichdi recipe. But you can even serve it along with some plain rice and dal.

    Hi,

    This dish looks delicious. I have all the ingrediants but don’t have mustard seeds. Can I use a substitute? or it will taste good without it.

    I just finished cooking it up. And it tastes great. But it does taste a tiny bit bitter, would you why that is?

    But other than that it turned out great.
    I actually saved a little bit of the water after cooking the chicken and added it towards the end to make it a little gravy-ish.
    Thank you!
