Lemon Chicken- Updated


This recipe was given to me by a dear friend, Rebecca. It is a strange combination but tastes incredible!
Marinade:
2T. Red Wine
1T. Soy Sauce
1tsp. Pepper
1 clove garlic
*Cube 4 chicken breasts and marinade for a couple of hrs.
Batter:
1/3 c flour
1/4 c corn starch
¼ t. salt
1/3 c water
2T cooking oil
2 T ground cashews (pulse in blender)
Combine in medium bowl.
Sauce:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. ginger
3 T lemon juice
2 tsp. lemon zest
¼ c chicken stock
¼ c sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in ¼ c water
Combine first 6 ingredients cook until sugar dissolves then add the cornstarch mixture so the sauce can thicken. Remove from heat.

1 ½ c lettuce and cashews
Heat oil to 365o fry battered chicken for 4-5 min.
Layer on plate: Hot white rice,  fried chicken, cashews, lettuce and lemon sauce.

Tip: If you want to eat this “low fat” skip battering and frying. Instead stir fry the meat then layer. It really tastes great this way too.
