Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
5 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons liquid honey
1 teaspoon lemon rind
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken breasts into chunks.
  • For the lemon juice, I squeezed as much juice out of the lemon as I could, and made up the rest with bottled lemon juice.
  • In a bowl, combine chicken, 2 tbsp of the lemon juice and garlic, let stand for 15 minutes
  • In a separate small bowl, combine broth, cornstarch, honey, lemon rind, and remaining juice. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat half of oil over medium-high heat and stir-fry chicken for about 4mins or until browned. Transfer chicken to bowl. Add remaining oil to pan; stir fry broccoli and red pepper for 4 minutes.
  • Stir reserved chicken broth mixture, pour into pan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 1 minute Reduce heat; cook until vegetables are tender crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes Stir in chicken broth until heated through.
  • Serve over rice or noodles if desired.
