I have had this recipe for quite some time and had kind of forgotten about it.  But, as I was perusing my recipe file, I rediscovered it.  It has a great lemon flavor.  The other great thing about this recipe is that you can add whatever vegetables you have on hand.  This time around, I added broccoli and mushrooms.  Yum!

Ingredients:
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 4 Tbs cornstarch, divided
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 3 Tbs brown sugar
  • 1 Tbs ginger
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • Veggies
Directions:
  • In a Ziploc bag combine chicken and 2 Tbs cornstarch so that chicken strips are covered.  In a large skillet, heat oil.  Cook chicken breasts and veggies until chicken breasts are no longer pink and juices run clear.
  • In medium saucepan, place 2 Tbs cornstarch, brown sugar and ginger.  Stir in ½ cup water and chicken broth.  Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until it thickens and comes to a boil.  Boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.  Pour sauce over chicken mixture and serve with rice.
