Brother Tommaso's Lemony Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
Cornstarch
1 lb (about 2 - 8 oz) boneless chicken breasts
Extra virgin olive oil (EVO)
1 lg lemon
3 Tbs. Brother Tommaso’s Better Recipe Garlic Butter
1 cup unsweetened lemonade
2 Tbs. rice-wine vinegar
Salt and Pepper
1: Zest the lemon and place aside.
2: Prepare a wide bowl with cornstarch for dredging the chicken
3: Slice chicken breasts into 1 inch strips and dredge in the cornstarch, pounding each one out a little to flatten and tenderize the strips. (this also embeds the cornstarch better)
4: Heat enough EVO to cover the bottom of a 10 inch sauté pan until a drop of water will sizzle. (DON’T OVER HEAT OLIVE OIL)
5: Place the dusted chicken strips in the oil and brown on both sides. Do this quickly, and turn down the heat.
6: Halve and squeeze the lemon over the chicken, turn the chicken once.
7: Add the lemon zest and Brother Tommaso’s Better Recipe Garlic Butter and sauté, coating all the meat.
8: Add the lemonade and rice-wine vinegar and bring to a fast simmer. The cornstarch will thicken the mixture.
Once the sauce has thickened, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with your favorite green vegetable. (serves 2)
