But actually, lemon juice is just sour.

All the lemon flavour is in the skin.

So if you want lemon flavoured anything, it’s crucial that you use the zest!

CHICKEN BREAST OR THIGH!

If I post a chicken breast recipe, someone always asks if it can be made with thigh.

So nowadays, I just confirm I cover that off in every single chicken recipe I do.

YES you could make this with chicken breast.

YES you’re free to make it with chicken thighs!

I had a bit of a shocker filming and photographing this recipe.

I kept forgetting a key ingredient and had to make it over and over again.

But in all honesty, its an optional extra.

Bacon makes everything better.

But this Lemon Chicken Salad is terrific even without it!
