Chinese Lemon Chicken



10 ½ oz/300 g skinless, boneless chicken breast
Chopped fresh herbs, to garnish

FOR THE MARINADE
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch

Lightly rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-size cubes and place in a shallow dish.

Mix the lemon juice and soy sauce together in a bowl. Put the cornstarch in another bowl and stir in the lemon and soy mixture to form a paste. 

Mine didn't make a paste, but it still worked well as a marinade.


Spread over the chicken and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Heat a nonstick skillet and add the chicken and marinade. Cook, stirring, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. 

Thoroughly!

Transfer to 4 serving plates, pour over the sauce, and serve, garnished with fresh herbs.

Garnished with an egg roll?

My Rating: 4/5
"So citrus and delicious! This is closer to American over-the-counter Chinese food than it is to actual Chinese food, but it's still tender and flavorful. I don't know why they didn't recommend serving it with rice, but that might be a good move on your part if you're so inclined."
