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
- Coat the chicken lightly in flour, seasoned with salt.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
