Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup cornstarch
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
½ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
¼ cup sugar (granulated)
⅔ cup chicken broth (low sodium)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 green onions (chopped)
1 lemon (cut in wedges)

Steps:

  • Butterfly the chicken breasts: Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise (butterflied) to get two thinner pieces from each breast.
  • Prepare the dredge: Combine the eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another bowl combine the ½ cup cornstarch with the flour and mix well.
  • Dredge the chicken: Dredge the chicken through the egg first, then through the flour mixture.
  • Fry chicken in batches: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, as many as you can fit, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Make the lemon sauce: Drain any leftover oil from the skillet. Add the butter to the skillet and melt. Add the lemon juice, sugar, chicken broth, ¼ tsp salt and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Whisk everything well together and cook until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.
  • Finish the dish and serve: Slice the chicken into thin strips and pour lemon sauce over. Serve with rice.
