lemon chicken"PROFINOX" Wok Lemon Chicken
Print Version
  • 1 chicken breast, boned, skinned, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp of cold water
  • 1 lemon, zested, and squeezed
  • 1 round tsp maizena or cornstarch
  • 1 round tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar, dry white wine, or xeres
  • 2 green onions, cut into 1/4" pieces
  • Mixture of equal parts of flour and dried bread crumbs
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Put the chicken pieces in a bowl containing the beaten egg and water. Add salt and pepper. Mix well, set aside. Heat approx. 2 tbsp vegetable oil in Wok or saute pan to high heat. Place the chicken pieces, 1 by 1, in the flour-bread crumb mixture and turn to coat on all sides. Drop gently into hot wok and cook one side at a time, until coating is nice and brown (about 3 minutes per side or less depending on piece size). If you have too many pieces to place comfortably in the Wok bottom, do in 2 parts. Remove from wok and keep on the side. Repeat with next batch of pieces. Add a bit of oil if needed. Make sure the Wok is hot enough otherwise the cooked pieces will loose their crispness once removed from the heat and will not be as tasty.

During this time, in a bowl, mix together the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, white wine, or xeres . Add 1 heaping tsp of brown sugar. Mix well to dissolve the sugar. Add the Maizena or cornstarch, mix well to get a uniform mixture.

Add the lemon zest to the chicken, together with those chicken pieces which were in the 1st cooked batch. Add the sliced green onions. Toss and reheat.

Add the maizena/cornstarch mixture. Toss all ingredients together. Lower heat. Serve with Stir-fried garlic broccoli (see below) and steamed Basmati rice.
Serves 2-3 persons

"PROFINOX" Stir-fried Garlic Broccoli
  • 1 bunch of sprigs of broccoli, cleaned and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (light or regular)
  • 1 tbsp light vegetable oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
Heat oil in the wok over high heat. When hot, add the broccoli flowerlets and cover. Cook a few minutes over high heat, turning over regularly. Test the broccoli for doneness by "stabbing" a piece with a pointed knife tip - if it gives in nicely to the tip, it is ready. Otherwise, keep on stir-frying. Once cooked to your taste, add the minced garlic, the sugar and the soy sauce. Mix well and heat through.

Remove from heat and keep warm in a separate plate while you prepare the Wok Lemon Chicken in the same wok.

Bon Appétit !
