Ingredients

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp canola oil

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

2 crushed garlic cloves

the zest of one lemon

1 cup chicken broth

2 tsp soy sauce (optional...tastes good but will make lemon sauce a little dark)

the juice of one lemon

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp corn starch

OK NOW FOR THE CHICKEN

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 eggs beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs

3 tbsp oil

Directions

In a small sauce pan add the first 5 ingredients on low heat for about 3-5 minutes.

add everything else and turn up heat to medium.

Sauce will thicken, it is done.

For the chicken:

Pound chicken with a tenderizer hammer until chicken breasts are about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat oil in the skillet over med high heat

Dip chicken in egg, then in breadcrumbs

Put the chicken in skillet and pan fry for about 3 minutes on each side.

OR you can use this same cooking technique with fish (except you won't have to pound the fish)

Keep the heat down to med when cooking fish

Use white,salt-water fish, that is best.

This dish is best served with white rice and peas.
