Provided by PetsRus

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces chicken breasts, cut in thin strips
1 egg white
2 teaspoons cornflour
3 tablespoons peanut oil, for frying
1/3 cup chicken stock, maybe a bit more
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons rice wine or 2 teaspoons dry sherry
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 red chile, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon cornflour, mixed with some water

Steps:

  • Mix the egg white with the corn flour, combine with the chicken, cover and put in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a wok until moderately hot and stir-fry the chicken for about one minute until they have turned white.
  • Drain the chicken in a sieve or colander, discard the oil and wipe the wok clean.
  • Reheat the wok, add all the sauce ingredients, except the corn flour mix, and bring it to the boil, then add the corn flour mix and simmer for one minute.
  • Return the chicken strips to the wok and continue to stir-fry them for a few minutes until done and coated with the sauce.
  • Do a last taste check for soy, sugar and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of chicken, you may need to cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Stir-fried vegetables should be tender-crisp, so don't cook them for too long. A minute or two is usually all they need.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a stir-fry together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the flavors are at their best.

Conclusion:

This garlic lemon chicken stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp-tender, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
