Tutor's tips

  • Slice large chicken breasts into even cutlets so they cook quickly without drying out.
  • Add the lemon zest at the end, not during simmering, to keep the sauce bright instead of bitter.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, loosen it with 1 to 2 tablespoons of broth or water before serving.
