Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Chinese Lemon Shredded Chicken:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Lemon Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix chicken broth, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set it aside.
4. Heat Oil: In a skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and sauté until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
6. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared lemon sauce and stir to combine.
8. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
