Ingredients

1 clove garlic
1 lemon
2 tbsp plain flour
500g boneless, skinless chicken breast/ thighs
3 tbsp olive oil
450ml chicken stock
1 tsp castor sugar
1 egg yolk

Method

Peel and chop the garlic. Grate the rind of the lemon. Mix in a bowl with the flour. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Toss in the flour mixture until well-coated. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry the chicken until golden. Add the stock and sugar and bring to the boil. Simmer until the sauce has reduced and chicken is tender.

Squeeze the juice from the lemon. Blend with the egg yolk and add to the pan, stirring constantly until combined. Serve with rice.

Tried this recipe and it is definitely a keeper! It was delicious and although dd didn't eat much of the chicken, she enjoyed the sauce and rice, especially with the addition of some prawn crackers! A very tasty recipe indeed!

I made this with Dove's Farm gluten-free flour and it was fantastic! Went down very well with ds1 (though he said he'd have preferred potatoes with it!), while ds2 ate all his rice, a bit of the lemon sauce and left all the chicken... I've only just cottoned on to this recipe database and I'm thrilled at the thought we can break out of the fishfingers/sausages/pesto straitjacket we're in!
