Lemon Chicken

If you're looking for a simple meal to prepare during the week but don't have much time to spend in the kitchen, then this dish would be a good choice. It all comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken tenders, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt
  • 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbs. white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup (8 oz.) prepared lemon curd
  • 1 red pepper, cut into strips
  • 1/2" piece ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, zested

Directions

  1. Coat the chicken lightly in flour, seasoned with salt.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add in the olive oil and then stir fry the chicken until golden, about 4 minutes.  Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add in the red pepper and sauté until slightly tender.  (You might need to add a touch more olive oil)  Add in the garlic and ginger and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly - making sure not to burn the ginger and garlic.
  4. Reduce heat to medium.  Add in vinegar and chicken broth, scraping up any drippings in the skillet with a whisk.  Thin the lemon curd with the hot water and then add to the chicken broth in the skillet and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  5. Add the chicken back to the skillet and simmer for a couple minutes until the sauce has thickened.  Remove from heat and stir in green onions and zest.  Serve with rice.

Serves 2-3

  • If the sauce has not thickened enough, just thicken it with a tiny amount of cornstarch and water.
  • Lemon curd can be found in the jam and jelly isle in your local supermarket.
