I triple this recipe when chicken is on sale, freeze it with the marinade in resealable bags. The night before I need it, I place a bag in the refrigerator and the chicken marinates as it thaws.—Anne Wegener, Springville, Indiana
Ingredients:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chicken broth
hot cooked rice
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, garlic and ginger. Set aside 1/4 cup for basting, cover and refrigerate. Add chicken to remaining marinade; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Broil chicken 4 in. from the heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the cornstarch, water, broth and reserved marinade until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve chicken and sauce with rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Yield: 6 servings.
