🐔 Ingredients:

• 2 chicken thighs or breasts (bone-in or boneless)

• 2 medium potatoes, cubed and fried (set aside)

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 lemon (zest and juice)

• 1 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 chicken stock cube (or 1 cup broth)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter)

• Salt and pepper to taste

🔪 Instructions:

1. Boil the Chicken:

   • In a pot, add the chicken, garlic, lemon juice + zest, and the stock cube dissolved in 2 cups of water.

   • Add salt and pepper to taste.

   • Bring to a boil, then simmer until the chicken is cooked through (15–20 minutes depending on cut).

2. Prepare the Garlic Potatoes (if not already done):

   • Fry cubed potatoes in a bit of oil until golden and crisp. Set aside.

   • Optional: Add a pinch of paprika or cumin for extra flavor.

3. Reduce the Broth:

   • Remove the cooked chicken and set aside.

   • Let the lemon-garlic broth reduce slightly (optional, for stronger flavor).

   • Add a bit of olive oil or butter to create a richer sauce.

4. Assemble:

   • Return chicken to the pan to reheat, then add in the fried potatoes.

   • Sprinkle in fresh dill (or dried if using).

   • Stir to coat everything in the lemony-garlic broth and let it simmer for 2–3 more minutes so flavors meld.

5. Serve Warm

• Optionally garnish with extra dill, a lemon wedge, or a drizzle of olive oil.
