OOH! That sounds yummy!

Possibly you have a recipe for chicken cooked on a bed of flavored rice, everything covered with a can of sauce and a crumb topping? This is basically a description of the Campbell's Chicken meal. Normally I detest boxed meals, but this one is a winner.

Here's an excellent Lemon Chicken recipe I've made for a couple of decades ... It sounds like a lot of work but it really isn't and the end results are yummy, very healthy and well worth the effort :-) I choose to cook it in a wok but a large skillet will do just fine ... You can freeze leftovers if you wish to :-) Actually, I think I'll enter this one in the recipe contest ;-)

Lemon Chicken

4 whole chicken breasts, boned skinned and cut in to bite size pieces (of course, you can buy already skinned and boned breasts)
4 tbls peanut oil
2 tsp corn starch plus 1 tbls mixed with one tbls water
3 tsp grated lemon rind
2/3 cup chicken stock
1 lb fresh snow peas
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Rice of your choosing

Toss chicken bites with 2 tbls oil and 2 tsp cornstarch

Heat remaining 2 tbls peanut oil in wok or skillet

Stir fry chicken about 2 minutes

Sprinkle with lemon rind and then add chicken stock and snow peas

Stir fry 1 minute

Combine lemon juice with cornstarch and water paste, add to wok and stir fry until sauce has thickened

Serve over rice

Bon Appetite ;-)
