I wanted to make Lemon Chicken like the Chinese restaurants have. After trying many recipes, I found one that was OK. I played with the recipe and tweeked it to my liking...a Lemon Sauce that is lemony with a good balance of sweet. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt and pepper |
1 lemons, juice of or 3 tablespoons bottled lemon juice |
1 cup water |
1/8 cup lime juice |
1/8 cup lemon juice |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 pinch salt |
2 drops yellow food coloring |
cornstarch, mixed with |
water, to thicken |
Directions:
1. CHICKEN: Saute cubed chicken in olive oil until done.
2. Set aside.
3. SAUCE: In a small sauce pan, combine first 7 ingredients and bring to a low boil.
4. Slowly stir in cornstarch solution.
5. Depending on how thick you want the sauce determines how much cornstarch solution you use.
6. Careful- sauce tends to boil up when cornstarch solution is added.
7. Serve chicken over a bed of rice.
8. Pour sauce over chicken& rice.
9. Enjoy!
