{Mandarin Chicken}

Knock-Off Panda South Mandarin Chicken

  Yes, there is sugar in this. Yes, it's worth it. I promise. 

I wouldn't share it otherwise. Enjoy.

What You'll Need: 

2/3 c sugar

1/4 c soy sauce

1 T lemon juice

1 t vegetable {I used olive oil}

1 t minced fresh garlic {I used 1/2 t dried}

1/2 t  minced fresh ginger {I used 1/4 t dried}

6 skinless chicken thighs {I used 4 boneless skinless breasts}

1/4 c water

4 t arrowroot {I used flour}

Mix sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan. In a small bowl, mix water and arrowroot together and add to saucepan. Bring to a boil then set to simmer for 5 mins or until sauce thickens and turn off.

Meanwhile, grill chicken with just a little oil to keep it from sticking. Cut up cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.

I served mine with cooked rice and drizzled the sauce over top. 

Muy Delicioso. Or should I say 好极了? {I hope that's what that says}
