Lebanese Lemon Chicken with Yogurt

Pane-Bistecca
Lebanese lemon chicken with yoghurt is very refreshing and is sure to please everyone.

This chicken recipe is very quick to make, apart from the fact that you need to marinate the chicken pieces overnight. After that, it’s a breeze and so simple that even a child could cook it. I highly recommend this dish; the crispy chicken with a creamy yoghurt sauce is incredibly fresh.

I like dishes that are enriched with or marinated in yogurt. In many countries, this is completely normal, and I really enjoy incorporating it into my cooking.

This recipe is part of Volkermampft’s Culinary World Tour, which is visiting Lebanon this month.
