I love Chinese food but I don’t get it all that often because it’s horrible for me. My favorite dish is Lemon Chicken! An order of Lemon Chicken is usually between 400 and 500 calories—NOT including the rice! I decided to make my own Lemon Chicken and it turned out awesome! It is so easy to make and only takes about 10 minutes!

Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts (4 oz each)
- salt and pepper to taste

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
Directions
- In a saucepan or deep skillet, combine lemon juice, Splenda, and lemon and let it sit over medium-low heat.

- When the sauce gets warmed and starts to simmer, turn off the heat and add the cornstarch and water mixture. Stir it until it looks like this:
- Plate the chicken over rice or your favorite vegetable, cover the chicken with your lemon sauce, and enjoy!
As a note: I wouldn’t recommend serving it with the lemon slices—those were more for pretty pictures
