  1. Grate the zest from half a lemon. Squeeze the juice from both fruits.
  2. Peel the onion and slice thinly. Sweat it in oil, then add crushed garlic. Pour half the lemon juice and soy sauce, and add the cream and grated lemon zest after a few minutes. Once the sauce begins to boil, lower the heat and introduce the rest of the lemon juice. Cook for a few more minutes.
  3. Rub the cleaned chicken with salt and pepper. Immerse the meat in the sauce taken off the heat, then lay it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes.
  4. Serve with fresh cilantro, a side salad, and your preferred starchy side. Enjoy!
