Chiu Chow Lemon Chicken Recipe


Ingredients


CHICKEN

8 chicken breasts, boned and skinned
1 cup slivered almonds
1 bunch chives
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tbsp finely minced fresh ginger

SAUCE

2 tsp grated lemon peel, or: finely minc, ed lemon peel
1/2 cup lemon juice
6 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt

TO FINISH

2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tbsp unsalted butter


Directions

ADVANCE PREPARATION: Dip each chicken breast in water and then gently
flatten with a meat pounder or rolling pin until the breast increases
in size by about one-third. Set aside. Toast the almonds in a 325 F
oven until light golden, then set aside. Mince the chives and set
aside. Combine the garlic and ginger and set aside. In a small bowl
combine the sauce ingredients and mix well. LAST-MINUTE COOKING:
Combine the cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water. Preheat
the oven to warm. Place a small noncorrosive skillet or saucepan over
medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and then garlic and ginger.
Saute briefly, then add the sauce. Bring to a low boil and reduce the
heat to simmer. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with a little salt
and pepper. Dust with flour, shaking off any excess. Place a 12-inch
skillet over high heat. When hot, add the butter and remaining 3
tablespoons of oil. When the butter bubbles, pan-fry 3 or 4 chicken
pieces at a time. Cook for about 1 minute on each side. The chicken
is done when the meat turns color and feels firm to the touch (do not
overcook). Transfer the chicken to a heated platter or dinner plates
and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining chicken. Bring
the sauce back to a low boil and stir in a little of the cornstarch
mixture to lightly thicken it. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle the almonds and chives on top. Serve at once.

The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans used many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida.

In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private libraries.

The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site.
