Lemony Chicken

I highly recommend this recipe. It is great. You can find the lemon curd in with the jellies in your grocery.

Lemony Chicken
Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee
Ingredients
1 quart buttermilk
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, tenders removed, cut in strips
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
Vegetable oil, for frying
For Sauce:
1 (11-ounce) jar lemon curd
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large frying pan by 1/4 to 1/2-inch depth. Heat oil
to 365 degrees F.
Meanwhile, whisk buttermilk and zest together in a medium bowl. Add chicken and set aside. Sift together flour and
cornstarch into a shallow dish. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture and dredge in flour mixture. Fry chicken strips
until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip chicken and continue cooking another 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on
paper towels.
While chicken is frying, make the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt lemon curd, stirring constantly. Add
remaining ingredients and heat through. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve.
