The Creamy Lemon Butter Chicken from Lala’s Kitchen is one of those Thermomix recipes that you will want to add to your regular meal plan.

This recipe is perfect for anyone on a Low Carb Healthy Fat (LCHF) diet, but also for anyone that loves a full flavour sauce that is amazing with Skinnymixer’s Silky Sweet Potato Mash.

A massive thank-you to Karla D’Lima (Lala’s Kitchen) for letting us feature this delicious Thermomix recipe whilst Nik is away doing research & development for an upcoming cookbook in Europe (lucky girl!!!).

If you haven’t yet checked out Karla’s other recipes like the Chunky & Creamy Beef Curry , Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup or Calderetta (Filipino Beef Stew) then I strongly suggest you give them a go!

This is quite a popular recipe in the Skinnymixers Facebook Group and I thought I would compile a list of tips from other Skinnies 😉

  • Serve with Nik’s Silky Sweet Potato Mash
  • Make it dairy free using coconut cream & coconut oil/ Nuttlex
  • Add some risoni into the pan when baking to soak up some of the delicious sauce.
  • Add different vegetables into the tray to bake in the sauce… delicious with broccolini, cherry tomatoes, beans and “apparently” garlic fried mushrooms.
  • Freeze leftover sauce in ice-cubes to make some delicious Creamy Lemon Butter LCHF Chicken Kievs.
  • You can use any piece of chicken (breast, drumsticks, thighs, boneless or boned) or even salmon for a seafood option
  • Add a tablespoon of arrowroot / cornflour for a thicker sauce
  • Add a cup of rice into the bottom of the dish with 1 cup extra liquid stock.

    Lovely chicken, but I found using the Thermomix redundant. Just brown the chicken in a pan that goes on the stove top and in the oven.

    1. I use pure cream and it works fine. Might just need to thicken to the consistency you like. I also add rice to the bottom of the dish and that soaks a bit of the sauce up

  8. Made this dish super easy and the smell was amazing. Put brown rice in the bottom and added a few cherry tomatoes and Zuchini chopped as well as the extra stock.

    Next level amazing! I make this a lot. I have to stop myself drinking the sauce before it goes into the oven!
    If you havnt made it.. MAKE IT. You won’t regret it.

    I added the extra cup of stock and rice to the tray as suggested, and cooked with broccolini and chopped carrot. Was divine! Even better the next day for lunch. That sauce in the rice was amazeballs. Won’t put the broccolini in for the whole cooking time next time though as the tops were a little crunchy. Still tasted good though. Def making this one again.

    The best, l added risoni to the bottom of the baking dish to absorb the flavours and some of the sauce. Every one loved it and now its a regular Sunday night dinner, specially if we have a new guest, and the recipe goes home with them.

  13. I have been meaning to try this recipe for ages. Made it for the first time tonight in an effort to change up my weekly meal ideas (they’re getting a bit boring) and I was completely underwhelmed, I followed the recipe to the letter, it just lacked flavour, it wad just chicken thigh with a bit of paprika. There was no lemon flavour to this dish what so ever.. I have no idea what I could have done wrong as everyone else seems to rave about it?? But we thought it was bland 🙁

    2. My first time was super underwhelming as well
      Tried it a second time and added much much more lemon and it was amazing! Also used chicken breast as I don’t like any other cuts of chicken

  14. I love this dish and have been making it for over a year. I like to serve it with pearl cous cous because I just love the texture of it. This sauce is just completely drinkable too. Super delicious.

    1. Absolutely. I saw this recipe originally as an oven baked dish. It’s been converted to thermomix. Definitely give the slow cooker a go!!

  18. To die for! I add a cup of arborio rice to the bottom of the dish and a bit more liquid, and it is devine. A huge hit with everyone I’ve cooked it for.

  20. I love the taste of this meal but can anyone tell me why it splits sometimes and not other times, also what I should do to avoid it happening in future. I am obviously doing something wrong and I thicken it with thickening granules. I do not want to add rice or anything beneath the chicken and sauce . Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  21. Hello 👋! Just wondering if anyone has made this without the spinach it and have it still come up lovely ?

    Reply

  23. After Reading the comments I decided to add cherry tomato’s & risoni for an all In one meal & I wasn’t disappointed . I could drink the sauce, yum!

  25. Had this tonight, and I used the Skinnymixers chicken stock. It was delicious and such a nice change from the typical cream and garlic that I would normally use in a dish like this. Everyone in the house thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

  26. How my, this was absolutely scrumptious. I made this recipe for the first time tonight after seeing so many rave reviews and it definitely did not disappoint. I added 1 cup of jasmine rice and 1 cup extra chicken stock and replaced the double thick cream (didn’t have any) with coconut cream.
    Hubby and I were licking our plates 😋👍🏻😍

  27. Fabulous…again! This time I had twelve boneless thighs so I tripled everything. I also cooked the garlic out a bit more before adding to the chicken. I had run out of paprika so used Syrian crushed pepper which I was gifted and came from a Syrian restaurant from Sydney. It was beautifully sweet and had a bit of heat to it…just enough. I’m going to have to get some more of this stuff,,it was amazing and really made this dish. My family couldn’t get enough😊

    1. Hi Lisa. I dont think it would matter which paprika to use, I have both but I’m going to put smoked paprika in mine. 🙂 I’m cooking it tonight for dinner and I’ll let you know what it’s like. 🙂

  30. I’m keen to try this but I can’t have garlic, can I use garlic infused olive oil instead of the butter, or just omit the garlic all togther? TIA

    Reply

    1. You could put spring onions in instead? That’s what I’m going to use as I don’t have enough garlic and I don’t eat onion!

  31. OMG this is AMAZING!! I added two cups of rice an extra cup of stock and doubled the sauce. Used Chicken thighs (bone in) and drumsticks. Everyone loved it and we have leftovers! I loved that it was super quick and very little clean up. Amazing flavours!

  33. I wasn’t a fan of this first time around as it had a horrible raw garlic taste. This time around I cooked the garlic for three minutes, 100c speed 1 and it made a huge difference. Also added some quartered baby potatoes, sliced field mushrooms and broccolini. Was a great one pan dinner. This will be one of our regular dinners now.

  34. This recipe is AMAZING! I cooked this last night for some friends who we had over for dinner and with only having my Thermi for one week i was rather nervous. Safe to say it turned out amazing and i will be making again and again. Thanks so much for Sharing 🙂

  36. Holy moly! Delicious, quick, and ingredients that I don’t have to go and get.
    I will definitely make this again, and again, and again!

  37. This is one of our favourites! I add a couple of drops of doTERRA Lemon oil to the sauce and then pour sauce into a saucepan before serving and thicken with a little tapioca flour and add some more fresh lemon juice. This gives the sauce a wicked kick and everyone always licks their plates clean 🤤😏
