Ingredients Needed for Easy Lemon Chicken:
Breaded chicken tenders, strips, or nuggets
Minute Rice (or Oven Baked Rice)
Butter
Chicken broth
Lemon zest, optional
Lemon juice-ReaLemon juice makes this super easy or you can use freshly squeezed lemon juice
Sugar
Vinegar
Water
Corn starch
Sesame seeds
Instructions for Easy Lemon Chicken:
Bake breaded chicken according to the package directions-about four servings.
While the chicken bakes, make the sauce and the Minute Rice.
For the sauce: zest and juice the lemons (if you are not using ReaLemon juice).
Then, melt the butter in a small to medium sized sauce pan.
Next, add the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar and vinegar to the sauce pan. Bring ingredients to a boil while stirring with a whisk, to dissolve the sugar.
Mix the corn starch and cool water and add it to the lemon sauce-slowly until you reach the desired consistency. Remove from the heat. (You may not need all of the cornstarch and water mixture, so do not pour it in all at once)
When the chicken, Minute Rice, and Lemon sauce are finished, dinner is ready. Serve the chicken and lemon sauce over the Minute Rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds and extra lemon zest, if desired.
Enjoy this easy dinner.
