Lemon Chicken

I've tried about three of these recipes and this is my favorite by far. The sauce is kinda sweet, so don't over do it on the chicken.

Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:
- 1 tsp oil to fry
- 1 lemon
- 1 green onions (optional)

Sauce
- 1 heaped tsp corn starch
- 3/4 cup cold water
- juice of a lemon
- 2 tsp sugar

How to:
1- Mix the sauce ingredients together until smooth. Slice part of the lemon for decoration.
2- Heat the oil in the frying pan. Add the whole chicken breasts. Cook on a high heat until each side is browned. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for a further 5 minutes. Check to see if it's cooked thru, and set aside.
3- Add the sauce ingredients again and then add to the pan. Stir until the sauce comes to the boil, it should thicken.
4- Add the slices of lemon and heat then over a gentle heat for 1 minute. Take off the heat.
5- Cut the chicken breasts into slices. Arrange decorative lemon slices and spring onions on top and pour the sauce over.

NB:
- Put slices over pasta!
- Pour sauce over fried chicken, like a Chinese restaurant.
- Add pepper and some minced garlic for variety!
- Replace lemons with oranges!
