This is a delicious chicken meal for you to prepare at home. The lemon sauce is fresh and tangy and somehow I always end up eating too much :-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes a bit to prepare and is not the sort of thing you would want to cook each night of the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it is worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I usually make it once in a while as a special meal for my husband. And it always turns out great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunate Lemon Chicken <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin off<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup cornstarch (corn flour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 tbls water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 egg yolks – gently beaten<\/p>\n\n\n\n
salt, pepper – to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
shallots – chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lemon Sauce<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup lemon juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 tsp powdered chicken stock<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 tbls cornstarch (corn flour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 tbls honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2\u00bd tbls brown sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tsp grated ginger<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\u00be cups water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until it boils and then thickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cut the chicken breast fillets into 3-4 pieces. Lay flat and pound slightly with a mallet or other heavy object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dip the chicken pieces into this batter and ensure you drain well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place a couple pieces of the battered chicken at a time, into deep hot oil and fry until lightly browned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drain on absorbent paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slice chicken further if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrange on plates of freshly cooked white rice. Sprinkle with shallots and spoon over hot lemon sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then end the meal with a home-made Chinese Fortune Cookie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insert a message in each cookie to suit the mood of the meal. This is a fun way to end any meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
