Recipe for Lemon-Pepper Chicken
Ingredients:
½ kg chicken
1 tbsp butter
½ tsp black pepper powder
1 onion, chopped (optional)
2 green chillies (optional)
1 lemon, sliced
Fresh coriander leaves
Method:
Heat a pressure cooker and add the butter. Once it’s hot, toss in the sliced onions and green chillies. Sauté until the onions turn a lovely shade of pink.
Add the chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the flavours meld beautifully. Close the lid of the pressure cooker.
Let the pressure build up until you hear 2 whistles, then turn off the heat. Allow the steam to release naturally, and then open the cooker.
Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves on top for that final touch of freshness. Serve this piping hot, either with bread or roti.

Easy peasy recipe Jeet, It is going in my meal planning. We are non -vegetarian and everytime I want to prepare new chicken dish. I am always looking for easy recipes. Black pepper and lemon will enhance the taste. Thank you Jeet.
Who ever thought lemon pepper chicken would be so easy to make. Eating is quite easy and making something is a task however this making is looking definitely worth a try types.
Such an easy recipe. But everyone in the family is vegetarian. Though, I would love to try this with jackfruit or soya beans, or perhaps paneer.
Sooooo simple Harjeet and I m sure it’s really tasty too. I just have a question. In the pressure cooker the chicken leaves water… so we have to let it dry once we remove the lid right? or is this recipe the gravy types consistency since your serving suggestion says roti or bread?
After reading the recipe very carefully the word that came to my mind instantly is yummy. I love chicken and when get it served in multiple options my dil mange more. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe will try.

As a vegetarian, I won’t be trying it myself, but I’m definitely going to share it with my friends who are into non-vegetarian dishes. The combination of lemon and pepper sounds like a flavorful twist, and I’m sure they’ll appreciate having a new recipe to try out.
Very easy and yummy recipe. Gonna definitely try it. The struggle is real daily thinking what to cook and especially your family loves chicken all the time..
Same here Harjeet, I too am a selective vegetarian but cook chicken for my family. This is such a fresh flavored recipe but I must be missing something because I could not figure out when the lemon goes in this recipe , is this at the end as a garnish, or the juice or while cooking.
I’m a vegetarian. can the chicken be replaced with something else for vegetarians.
It looked so yumm! my kids would loved it and seems pretty easy to prepare.

This is one recipe my family would surely love! We’d probably have the ability to fly already of the gauge of having wings is based on chicken consumption. I guess there’s a lot of families who could relate to this especially the ones with kiddos.
