Ingredients
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(907g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •Vegetable oil(30g)
- •Cornstarch(45g)
- •Lemon(5g)
- •Lemon Juice, Fresh(60g)
- •Brown sugar(180g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(120g)
- •Honey(15g)
- •Ginger, Fresh Root(3g)
- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •Sesame seeds
- •Green Onion (Scallion)
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, sprinkle all over with the salt.
- 2Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 12 minutes.
- 3Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1 cup cold water. Whisk in the lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, ginger powder, and garlic powder until smooth.
- 4Once the chicken is done, add the sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Divide the rice between bowls and top with the chicken and sauce. Before serving, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions, if using.
