Instead, drizzle it in a little at a time, incorporating it before you add more until you get your desired consistency.Д¬reamy lemon chicken with mashed potatoes are so good on their own, but I need more to my meal, personally. I add a touch of Better than Boullion in my mashed potatoes and stir it into the milk when I add it. I recommend heating up your milk and using melted butter. I know its easy to just grab the milk of cream and the butter from the fridge and add it in, but keeping the potatoes hot will keep them creamy, yet fluffy. Smaller pieces will cook through faster, but they will also absorb water more and faster, which will leave you with watery and less flavorful mashed potatoes. If you don't have any, Russets will also work. They have a wonderful texture and are already almost buttery in flavor. They are hands down the best potatoes for mashing. Not everyone in my family likes it with parmesan, so I usually let everyone add theirs onto their own plate. Add some parmesan if you want! Always go for the real stuff, and always add a little at a time.I find if you try and start salting too early, you can accidentally end up over salting and no one likes a salty sauce. Be careful seasoning your sauce! The best time to salt your sauce is near the end, after the sauce has a chance to incorporate the flavors from the fried chicken, the Better than Boullion, and the lemon.I usually like about 1 ВЅ large lemons in mine, but you may like less, or even more.

Squeeze in as much lemon as you prefer.

That added flavor creates more dimension to your dish.

Use the same pan you fried the chicken in to make the creamy lemon sauce.

The longer, the better, of course, but I usually marinate it for about 30 minutes while I get the ingredients ready for everything else. You can marinate the chicken for anywhere between 15 minutes to overnight (in the fridge, of course!). It is such an easy step and makes a huge difference in the flavor! I use a mix of herbs, spices, lemon, and Better than Boullion for an extra punch of flavor. You can, of course, replace the mashed potatoes if you don't have any potatoes around.

Mashed potatoes - We love eating our creamy lemon chicken with mashed potatoes, and it is so important to the dish for us.

Lemons add a lovely brightness to everything it touches.

Lemon - The featured flavor in the dish.

It gives the sauce its wonderful creaminess.

Whole milk and/or cream - This dish is meant to be comfort food! It works the best with whole milk and a splash of cream if you have it available.

This is my secret ingredient to dialing up the flavor in this dish, and use it in a few different ways throughout the recipe.

Better than Boullion - I love the seasoned vegetable version, but you can try others you have around.

You can certainly try other spices, but I cannot guarantee substitutions will be as good. Herbs and spices - I use my favorite medley of herbs and spices for the marinade and the sauce.You can also substitute the chicken with pork chops if you do not have any chicken available. Chicken - This is a chicken dish after all! I love making this recipe with chicken breasts, but you can also use thighs and drumsticks, so long as you are cooking it through, the recipe works with it all.In fact, you probably already have everything you need. You also don't need any fancy ingredients. What I love most about this recipe is that it doesn't really take a lot to make it. It is wonderfully creamy, and thanks to a few tweaks, is totally packed with flavor in every bite. No one likes any back story to recipes anymore, but I would be remiss if I did not mention this recipe was inspired by a comfort food a good friend shared with me, and that I now have passed onto my own family. This creamy lemon chicken is a favorite comfort meal everyone will love!
