Directions
Lemon chicken, From the cookbook Chinese Cooking for Dummies. My family enjoys this meal. I have never had lemon chicken from a restaurant so I do not know if this compares. I like the sauce, with the fresh lemon juice & zest, it has a nice tartness but is not overpowering. This recipe calls for the chicken breast to be butterflied, however I just slice the chicken breast in half (thickness), so 1 thick breast becomes 2 thinner ones, I find them easier to work with. I had to guess on prep & cook times., This sauce was so good I’m almost tempted to give this recipe five stars just for the sauce. However, I did have the same problem with the chicken – the chicken/cornstarch would stick to to plate and therefore some of the batter was removed in the process. The chicken needs to be seasoned more before cooking, and maybe perhaps use flour instead of cornstarch?? The toasted sesame seeds add a wonderful flavor and are a must., This sauce was so good I’m almost tempted to give this recipe five stars just for the sauce.
