Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cut into small chunks (around 12 oz. in weight)
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 lemon, both the juice and zest (shavings from the rind)
1/4 c. water
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. cornstarch
Pepper and salt, to taste
1 tsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. olive oil

Directions
