Lemon Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts (about 700g)

Breadcrumbs

2 eggs

50 g (6 tablespoons) cornstarch

4 lemons

50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar

10g (1 tbsp) cornstarch

Preparation stepper lemon chicken

For each chicken breast, use the hammer to tap the breasts to become flat. 

Trim the fat. Cut each breast into about 4 pieces. Set them aside. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt over the chicken breasts (use a teaspoon of salt for two chicken breasts). If you want you can sprinkle some fresh ground pepper on the chicken breast as well. 

In a small bowl, beat eggs slightly. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Roll each breast for cornstarch or cornmeal (use the amount of 50g), removing excess. Dip in egg then the chicken and then coat completely on both sides with bread crumbs. Fry each piece for 3 minutes per side and do them out on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Squeeze lemons previously reserving 2 thin slices for garnish. Add enough water to make 360 ​​grams (1-1/2 cups). In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the diluted lemon juice and sugar, stirring to dissolve. Boil and halve the amount of about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the corn flour or cornstarch (10g) and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until dissolved. Add the cornmeal mixture to reduce the lemonade and stir. Boil until it reaches the desired consistency, about 2 minutes.

Place the chicken on a plate (chopped, if desired), and pour the sauce over. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately with rice.
