Lemon chicken Chinese

Method

1. 1 Thinly slice the chicken breast and marinate with salt and pepper for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Mix cornstarch with eggs and baking powder to form a thick paste, then dip the chicken slices into it.
3. 3 Fry in oil at 175 degrees for 4 minutes, then remove and fry again at 200 degrees for 60 seconds.
4. 4 Boil chicken broth with lemon juice, sugar, and ginger, then mix in the cornstarch.
5. 5 The sauce should be clear and glossy like jelly; cloudy sauce indicates that the cornstarch has not been cooked thoroughly.
6. 6 Cut the chicken into strips, then drizzle with sauce when serving and sprinkle with chopped scallions and lime zest.
