Lemon Chicken – Crispy lemon chicken

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 500 g chicken breast fillet(s), each flattened
• 50 g cornstarch
• ¼ tsp salt
• some pepper
• 220 ml water
• 2 egg yolks, whisked
• 2 spring onions, cut into rings
• 1 lemon(s), juice
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp chicken broth powder
• some ginger root, finely chopped
• some oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 12 minutes; Total time approx. 32 minutes

Set aside 1 1/2 tbsp of the 50g cornstarch. Mix the rest with salt and pepper for the breading, then stir in the egg yolk and 30ml water. Dip each of the flattened fillets into the breading to ensure they are evenly coated, then deep-fry immediately until the meat is cooked through. Keep the fried chicken fillets warm while you prepare the sauce. Then cut them into smaller pieces and arrange the spring onion rings on top. For the sauce, mix the reserved 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch with the remaining 190ml water, the lemon juice, the sugar, the honey, the chicken stock powder, and the finely chopped ginger until well combined. Then heat in a pan or saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce simmers and has thickened sufficiently. Pour the finished sauce over the prepared chicken fillets and serve immediately. Serve with fragrant rice.
