Lemon Chicken

This is a really, really nice dish! It's pretty easy too. The recipe here serves 2 people.

Ingredients; Photobucket

-2 chicken breasts (or 1 per person)
-110g basmati or long grain rice
-1/3 tablespoon vegetable oil
-4 drops sesame oil
-1 clove thinly sliced garlic
-1 tablespoon of lemon juice
-2-3 spring onions, chopped
Marinade;
-2 cloves thinly sliced garlic
-1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
-1 tablespoon cornflour
-6 drops of soy sauce
-A little egg white

First, mix together all of the marinade ingredients. Stir this into thinly sliced chicken. I usually leave the marinade to sit overnight, in a sealed container in the fridge but if you want to use it right away, that's fine too!

Put the rice into a pot, and add lots of water (just over double the amount of rice there is) bring to boil and salt.

Heat a wok or pan, and add the vegetable and sesame oil. If you can get groundnut oil instead of veg oil that's great, but substituting the sesame oil for another oil really changes the taste (I did this the first time I made it, and it was nowhere NEAR as nice as it was when I made it the second time, using sesame oil!) so I don't advise it. Stir fry the garlic quickly for 20 seconds; don't brown! Next, add the marinaded chicken. Stir fry quickly for 3 minutes until cooked white all the way through (this is why it's important to cut your chicken extra thin!). Reduce the heat, and add the lemon juice and spring onion.

dish up with your rice, and you're done!
