I wanted to make Lemon Chicken like the Chinese restaurants have. After trying many recipes, I found one that was OK. I played with the recipe and tweeked it to my liking...a Lemon Sauce that is lemony with a good balance of sweet. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
1CHICKEN: Saute cubed chicken in olive oil until done.
2Set aside.
3SAUCE: In a small sauce pan, combine first 7 ingredients and bring to a low boil.
4Slowly stir in cornstarch solution.
5Depending on how thick you want the sauce determines how much cornstarch solution you use.
6Careful- sauce tends to boil up when cornstarch solution is added.
7Serve chicken over a bed of rice.
8Pour sauce over chicken& rice.
9Enjoy!
