Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup potato starch
  • Oil for frying
  • Optional: 1 purple onion, 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, 1 yellow pepper, 1 orange pepper, 1 cup pineapple pieces

Sauce Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup grated horseradish
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper (optional)
  • 2 tsp. potato starch, mixed with 2 tsp. of water

Directions:

  1. Cut the chicken into chunks or strips.
  2. Dip each piece into egg, and then into the potato starch.
  3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot, and fry chicken until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked inside. Set aside.
  4. Simmer all sauce ingredients except the potato starch in a small saucepan for 15–20 minutes. Strain the sauce to remove the horseradish pieces. Return it to the fire and mix in the potato starch and water mixture. Stir continuously for a few minutes while the sauce thickens. Pour sauce over the chicken, or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
  5. If you want to serve this with the vegetables, dice and sauté them over a low flame, until just cooked through. Mix with the chicken and then pour the sauce over.
