Creating the amazing dish, Chinese Lemon Chicken, is a simple process if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Clean and cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the Coating: Set up three bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with cornstarch.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first in flour, then in egg, and finally in cornstarch to create a crispy coating.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry the Chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Make the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine chicken broth, sugar, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
7. Combine: Add the fried chicken to the sauce, tossing to coat all the pieces evenly.
8. Glaze: Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it absorbs the flavors.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Chinese Lemon Chicken dish that will wow everyone!
