As I have revealed many times, I love Chinese food. But, I have also revealed that I love lemons. So now, this gluten-free lemon chicken is a recipe that has both. Now I admit, when I saw this recipe when I was googling Jell-O ingredients on the internet, I was a little surprised by the ingredients.
Admittedly, I imagined eating chicken coated in lemon curd or one of those old 1960′s Jell-O moulds with pieces of chicken floating around in it. However, I am pretty adventurous and wanted to try this unusual recipe. I am sure glad I didn’t get easily turned away by the ingredients because this was a light lemon sauce and very tasty, not sweet as I feared.
This gluten-free lemon chicken recipe is a good dish for people with Celiac disease, Gluten sensitivity, Gluten intolerance or a gluten-free diet because none of the ingredients contains gluten.
