Lemon Chicken Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin slices
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil (for frying)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
Lemon slices (for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Recipe Instructions:

In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices in a single layer and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, and grated lemon zest. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water, ensuring there are no lumps. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the sauce.

Cook the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Return the fried chicken slices to the skillet and toss them in the lemon sauce until evenly coated.

Remove from heat and garnish with lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley.
