Lemon pepper chicken is a wonderful combination of lemon, pepper, ginger, garlic, and other spices which make the chicken delicious. I often serve this up at dinner parties and my family and friends love it.
There are a few personal touches you can add to the dish, as well. To begin with, we use boneless, skinless breasts as they are so easy to work with and healthy. You can, alternatively, use any cut you like, but remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
As for the sauce, I use chicken stock, but you can use vegetable stock or even water for that matter. The rest of the spices are adjusted according to my liking, but you can alter them to suit your taste. In example, if you are a ginger or garlic lover, you can add a bit more. The same applies to the garlic.
