Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Warms up well the next day as the lemon juices keeps the chicken tender. I use a potato peeler to get really nice ribbon thin slices of capsicum and a lemon zester to get long thin strips of lemon zest. You can also sprinkle a few chilli flakes over the top if you prefer a more intense dish.
