Lemon and Garlic Chicken Strips


Lemon and Garlic Chicken Strips
Originally uploaded by dopiaza.

I was looking for something to do with a couple of chicken breasts tonight, so I came up with this. It wasn't half bad.

Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1cm wide.

Take the juice of one lemon, a couple of crushed cloves of garlic and a pinch of salt and mix it all together. Pour over the chicken breast strips and leave to marinade for an hour or so.

Beat a couple of eggs in a bowl and on a plate prepare some seasoned flour (flour with salt, pepper, cayenne added).

Heat some oil for deep frying in a wok.

Take a strip of chicken, roll it in the flour, dunk it in the egg and then roll it in the flour again and drop it in the hot oil. Fry until golden. Repeat until all the chicken is done - you'll need to do them in several batches. As each batch is done, drain and then place on a tray in the oven to keep warm.

Serve hot. Shown here with cole slaw and tomato and cucumber salad.
