Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chichen all over.

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken
pieces in one layer. Add chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium
heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

Turn the chicken and cook for 5 more minutes, or until cooked through.
Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken.
Discard the oil.

Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute. Do
not burn the garlic. Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the

Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the
bottom. Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
