Step 1
Start by tossing the chicken pieces and garlic together in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and give it a gentle toss to coat everything lightly, then shake off any extra flour. Heat the margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot. Add the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are nicely browned on all sides. Once browned, stir in the fresh mint leaves and pour in the lemon juice. Cover the skillet and let everything steam for about 5 minutes, just until the chicken is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook it, or the chicken might turn out tough.

How to serve
Serve with a side of steamed rice or a crisp green salad. A dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon can add a nice tang that complements the mint and chicken beautifully.
Storage & leftovers
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid drying out the chicken. Avoid freezing, as it may affect the texture and freshness of the mint.
