Servings: 2 - Prep: 10 min - Cook: 15 min - Total: 25 min

Ingredients:

2 chicken breast
1 egg
70g corn starch
Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon sauce

180 ml cold water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp sugar
12 g (2 tsp) cornstarch

Instructions:

Start by heating enough vegetable oil in a pan to cover the chicken fillets halfway.
Next, cut the chicken breasts in half and season them with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, add the cornstarch. In a separate bowl, whisk an egg with a pinch of salt and white pepper.
Coat the chicken first in the egg mixture, then in the cornstarch, shaking off the excess.
When the oil is hot (tip: add a cocktail stick to the oil; it’s ready when the oil starts bubbling steadily around it), add the chicken fillets and fry them until golden. Remove them and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
In a saucepan, add cold water, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Then cook it over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and becomes transparent.
Serve immediately with fried rice.
