Fortunate Lemon Chicken
Recipe for four people;
Meat,
4 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin off
½ cup cornstarch (corn flour)
3 tbls water
4 egg yolks – gently beaten
salt, pepper – to taste
shallots – chopped (for a garnish)
Lemon Sauce,
½ cup lemon juice
2 tsp powdered chicken stock
2 tbls cornstarch (corn flour)
2 tbls honey
2½ tbls brown sugar
1 tsp grated ginger
1¾ cups water
For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until it boils and then thickens.
Prepare and cook the meat. Cut the chicken breast fillets into 3-4 pieces. Lay flat and pound slightly with a mallet or other heavy object.
Place cornstarch in a bowl and slowly add the water, and then add the slightly beaten egg yolks. Next add salt and pepper to your liking.
Dip the chicken pieces into this batter and ensure you drain well.
Place a couple pieces of the battered chicken at a time, into deep hot oil and fry until lightly browned.
Drain on absorbent paper.
Slice chicken further if required.
Arrange on plates of freshly cooked white rice. Sprinkle with shallots and spoon over hot lemon sauce.
Enjoy!
Just a note about this recipe;
- Don't worry about the sugar, it's not very much. If you've been working out, you deserve a treat.
- Also, use pure vegetable oil instead of lard or fat. The vegetable oil is actually good for you.
- A lot of people like rice. However, you can still cut back on calories by serving this over a plate of shredded cabbage and carrots. Your meal will be healthy, filling, and packed with flavor.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped peanuts, red pepper flakes, or flaked coconut pieces. Tasty!
