We got some boneless chicken breast halves during our last shopping trip and we decided to try our hand at preparing one of the hubby's favorite chicken dishes - Lemon Chicken.Did some searching and found a recipe on Cooks.com which listed ingredients that we already have at home. It turned out quite well, even with our revisions, and yeah, the picture that I took could do with some improvement (and better presentation) so this doesn't do the dish any justice.
The original recipe calls for 2 egg yolks for the chicken batter. I didn't want to waste the egg whites so I opted to just prepare the chicken cutlets Japanese style as we did last time - dredged in flour, dipped in egg and then coated with panko bread crumbs.
Lemon sauce:
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger (instead of minced, I grated)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
In medium saucepan, place 2 tablespoons cornstarch, brown sugar and ginger. Stir in 1/2 cup water and broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickens and comes to a boil, boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice.
Pour sauce over the chicken cutlets and serve.
* Note, we found the sauce to have a strong ginger taste, will lessen the ginger next time.

try this batter similar to ones used for camaron rebusado. approx 1 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup flour, season well with salt and pepper(optional cayenne powder), then moistened into a thick batter with 1-2 eggs and some beer or water. batter has to be thick. a bit thicker than pancake batter. best if done ahead and chilled. season chicken with salt and pepper and dip into cold batter and deep fry in hot oil. very crispy.
to avoid lumps, sift together dry ingredients in a large bowl, form a mound, make a well in the center, pour beaten eggs in the center with a bit of liquid and whisking in tight concentric circles, from the middle out, until uniform. from then, it will be easier to add more liquid or flour/starch by the tablespoon until the batter is the right consistency.
