"Chinese Takeout" Lemon Chicken Homemade Edition!

This is the easiest way to make lemon chicken.  My family inhales it.  I have to make a double batch every time.  Pictured here is orange chicken.  This time I used orange juice because I only had 1 package of orange jello & no chicken broth. 


Here is the recipe:

1 Tbsp oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut
1 pkg snow peas trimmed
1 small red pepper, cut
2 pkg Lemon Flavor Gelatin (1 for less lemon flavor)
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 C chicken broth
2 Tbsp Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (I add more for the tanginess)
2 Cloves minced garlic

Heat oil add chicken.  Cook thoroughly.  Add snow peas & peppers.  Cook.

Mix dry gelatin mix & cornstarch in small bowl.  Add broth, dressing & garlic.  Stir until gelatin is dissolved.  Add to skillet.  Reduce heat to medium.  Cook until sauce is thickened.  Stir frequently.

I omit the peas (gag.  I'd rather eat dirt than peas) and red peppers (because I have a white girls stomach and it would revolt if I ate anything spicy.) I also add more liquid to make more sauce. 

Pour over rice or eat alone with homemade fried rice or chow mein.
