  • Mix lemon juice with garlic powder and ginger paste. Marinate the cubed chicken in the lemon juice mixture as long as possible (min. 1 hour, up to 1 day).
  • Take the chicken out of the lemon, and keep the lemon on the side.
  • Fry the chicken in butter on high for a few minutes till it gets white, and then lower the heat and keep them cooking till they are done, around 20 minutes.
  • While this is cooking make the white rice on the side using 2 cups rice to 4 cups water.
  • Add the garlic and ginger slices to the chicken and cook till they are soft. Add the lemon mixture, and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
