Lemon Chicken

I made this last week and it was really yummy!

Dip chicken pieces (boneless breasts or thighs would be best, but I used leg quarters and it turned out good)

Dredge the chicken first in cornstarch, then in egg, then in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.

Brown in frying pan with a little oil.

Place in 9x13 pan and bake the rest of the way....about 1 hour for bone-in chicken....30 to 45 for boneless.

Top with this sauce:

2/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Heat over medium heat until thickened.....pour hot over chicken.

***I served this with Grandma Leavitt's Rice and Vermicelli Pilaf...it was soooo good. If you haven't made her pilaf, I strongly recommend it....my kids loved it!*****
