SPANISH LEMON CHICKEN
A proper one-pan dinner that’s packed with flavour but couldn’t be easier to make. The lemon keeps everything fresh, while the wine, herbs and buttery sauce are perfect for mopping up with a chunk of bread. This one’s definitely going on the regular rotation 🤘🏽🤌🏽🇪🇸 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaGdhNuIwB4/?igsh=MTMxaHAycXZobWkwMA== Serves 2-3 Ingredients 80g smoked pancetta, diced Small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, diced 1 courgette, diced 3 garlic clove
