Method
1.
2.
Add chicken to the heated skillet. Sear both sides until golden and almost cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. During the final 2 minutes of cooking, add ghee and lemon slices. Fry until ghee is completely melted and lemon is slightly browned. Remove everything from the skillet and set aside.
3.
Add risoni, ½ shallot and 1 garlic clove. Cook until the risen is toasted, about 2 minutes. Add broth, kale and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat.
4.
Add the chicken back into the skillet, along with the lemon slices and any juices leftover. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is fully cooked through.
5.
Meanwhile, make the creamy sauce by adding all ingredients into a small bowl. Combine well until smooth. Serve the lemon chicken immediately topped with creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh dill and season with sea salt and pepper.
Note: Choose any variety from the Brancourts Cottage Cheese range that best suits your dietary needs and personal preferences.
