Lemon Chicken

 

Salam all,

How's your day? Mine was very hectic lately. My older son just recover from high fever & now my baby turns. Sometimes its really hard to be a working mum. To balance your job & family coz i love both. Of course family is a top priority to me. That's why no matter how busy i'm at work, i'll try my best to go back on time every singly day so that i can cook for my family. But i'm very grateful i have a very understanding husband who always know when i feel really tired & he just ask us to eat at the restaurant :).

Ok, so this is one of my working day dishes. Its very easy & its chinese food so its suitable for kids. Especially my kids who don't like spicy things. Here the recipe...
