Breaded Chicken Balls With Lemon Glaze Recipes

BREADED CHICKEN BALLS WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Slice the breasts into about 1-1/2-inch cubes (or smaller) then place in a large bowl.
• Toss the chicken strips with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cover and chill for 20 minutes.
• For the batter; in a small bowl beat the eggs with 1/4 cup cornstarch, baking powder and pinch white pepper.
• Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a wok to 350 degrees F.
• Using clean hands completely coat/toss the chicken with the cornstarch batter.
• Place chicken in the hot oil and fry (in batches) until browned and cooked through; set aside to a large serving plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm while making the lemon sauce.
• For the lemon glaze; in a medium bowl combine 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and food coloring (if using) mix until combined then add in the peeled lemon slices.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the wok and slowly stir in the lemon glaze mixture; cook stirring until the glaze is clear (at this point you can remove the lemon slices or leave in the sauce).
• Drizzle the glaze over the chicken.
• Place fresh lemon slices on top if desired.
• Serve with cooked rice.

BREADED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Butter an 11 x 7-inch or a 9-inch baking pan baking dish (if doubling the recipe to make 12 breasts, use a 13 x 9-inch pan.
• In a bowl, combine the dry breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
• In another bowl combine the melted butter/garlic mixture and lemon juice; whisk well to combine (if you run out of butter when dipping the breasts, which has happened to me many times, just melt about another 1/4 cup butter and add in about 1 tablespoon more of lemon juice in the microwave.
• Dip chicken in butter mixture, then roll in crumbs (patting down the crumbs into the chicken breasts).
• Roll-up chicken jelly-roll style; place seam side down in a greased baking dish drizzle with any remaining butter mixture; sprinkle with paprika if desired.
• Place a slice of cheese on top the last 10 minutes of baking if desired.
• Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked though (baking time will vary depending on how thin you pounded the chicken).

BREADED CHICKEN LIMONE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season flour, eggs, and bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Mix cayenne pepper into the flour only. Dip each breast into flour, then into the beaten eggs, and then into the bread crumbs, coating evenly. Place onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy.
• While chicken bakes, heat oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and Brussels sprouts and stir until garlic releases its fragrance and sprouts are heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the flour. Then add the water, lemon juice, drained beans, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Add additional water if sauce is too thick. Remove from the heat and stir in remaining butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• Place each piece of chicken onto a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over it and garnish with chopped parsley and remaining Parmesan cheese.

GLAZED LEMON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 1 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the lemon peel. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Blend the flour mixture into the egg mixture, alternately with the milk; stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
• In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons sugar in the lemon juice. After loaf has cooled for 10 minutes, spoon glaze over loaf.
