This is a delicious chicken meal for you to prepare at home. The lemon sauce is fresh and tangy and somehow I always end up eating too much :-).
It takes a bit to prepare and is not the sort of thing you would want to cook each night of the week.
However, it is worth the effort.
I usually make it once in a while as a special meal for my husband. And it always turns out great.
Fortunate Lemon Chicken
4 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin off
cup cornstarch (corn flour)
3 tbls water
4 egg yolks gently beaten
salt, pepper to taste
shallots chopped
Lemon Sauce

2 tsp powdered chicken stock
2 tbls cornstarch (corn flour)
2 tbls honey
2 tbls brown sugar
1 tsp grated ginger

For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until it boils and then thickens.
Cut the chicken breast fillets into 3-4 pieces. Lay flat and pound slightly with a mallet or other heavy object.
Place cornstarch in a bowl and slowly add the water, and then add the slightly beaten egg yolks. Next add salt...
