 Ingredients:

30 ml olive oil
8 deboned chicken thighs
1 large onion (finely chopped)
1 & 1/2 cup chicken stock

1 tbsp crushed garlic
1/4 cup cream
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tsp lemon zest
lemon slices – cut into quarters
salt & pepper (to taste)

Lemon Cream Chicken – Method

Pack 10 briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing. Put a couple of firelighters in the bottom section and get that going. We used a no 10 Best Duty flat bottom pot which nestles nicely into the PotjieKing.

• Pour the olive oil into the potjie pot and fry the thighs with a little sprinkle of salt.
• Remove the chicken and set aside. Don’t worry if it isn’t totally cooked as we are going to cook it some more in the sauce later.
• Fry the finely chopped onions until they have a bit of colour too then add in the chicken broth, lemon juice and garlic.
• Cook for 10 minutes or so.
• Remove the potjie pot from your PotjieKing. Once the sauce has stopped bubbling, slowly pour in the cream while stirring.
• Place the chicken back into the pot and spoon sauce over the top of the thighs.
• Place the braai grid onto your PotjieKing and set the potjie pot on the braai grid.
• This will reduce the heat as we don’t want the sauce to boil once the cream has been added.
• Allow to cook on a low heat for another 5 or so minutes.
• Remove the potjie pot from the heat and stir in the butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle the lemon zest, chopped parsley and lemon slices over the top.

Serve with rice or mashed potato.

Enjoy!!
