Lemon Chicken

Oriental Lemon Chicken Recipe is an Asian chicken version that resembles orange chicken.

This is recipe is quick and simple. As for the ingredients, you can easily find them in most supermarkets or grocery stores. We will be using skinless, boneless chicken breasts for this recipe. Using skinless chicken is better because it contains less fat.

This lemon chicken recipe involves frying. For health conscious individuals, you may use olive oil to replace regular cooking oil in frying the chicken pieces. This will lessen the cholesterol and fat content of your dish.

I like this recipe because it is full of Asian flavors. It goes well with plain of fried rice, or even by itself.

Try this chicken recipe and let me know what you think.
