This Lemon Chicken is wonderful!!! It has great flavor and the chicken is so tender - not tough like so many restaurant versions. I also liked that there was less breading on the chicken. I used about 1/2 cup cornstarch for the breading and 3 chicken breast halves. There was just enough sauce for flavor and it it wasn't swimming in it. DD had two servings and asked me to make this again. Thanks Paja!!
