Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle chicken with salt; set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water and the soy sauce. Add broth and water; bring to boil, stirring often; add chicken, mushrooms, vinegar and sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with lemon slices.
*Leanne’s Note: Have chicken breast meat partially frozen for ease in slicing.
