Directions: |
Directions:Cut chicken breasts in half. Pound lightly so each half is the same thickness. Pat 1/2 c. cornstarch on both sides of each half. Let stand for several minutes so the cornstarch adheres to the chicken. Add more cornstarch, if necessary. Let stand for at least 15 minutes or keep in refrigerator overnight. Check the next morning to see if more cornstarch is needed. Combine sauce ingredients. Cook sauce mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. Taste for sourness and adjust to your liking. Heat 1/3 c. of oil in a 10-inch skillet and brown chicken breasts on both sides until lightly golden. Drain on paper towel and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Arrange on serving platter on top of shredded lettuce. Pour sauce over top and garnish with lemon slices. Serve with rice. |

Notes: Do ahead note: I have cooked the chicken and made the sauce in advance. Reheat the chicken in a 400 degree oven for 5 or 10 minutes and reheat sauce in microwave or on the stove.
