Mandarin Chicken

Loved it! Simple and easy. I needed to add more cornstarch. I cooked it forever and it never thickened. So, my sauce was a little soupy. Recipe suggests grilling the chicken, but I just cooked it on the stove.

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon of garlic powder

Mandarin Sauce
2/3 cup sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
¼ cup water
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Pound chicken breasts with a mallet to an even thickness and season both sides with sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Grill chicken 4-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink inside. Remove from grill and cut into bit sized strips. Set aside.

In a bowl combine sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic and ginger. Pour into a wok or sauce pan. Heat the mixture until almost at a boil. Combine cornstarch and water. Once the sauce starts to boil add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened.

Add grilled chicken to the wok and coat with the sauce. Simmer until heated thoroughly. Serve over cooked rice
