Steps
- 1
To make the cheat’s preserved lemon:
Put all the ingredients into a small saucepan, for which you have a lid, on a medium high heat. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium low, cover with the lid an cook for 12 - 14 minutes or until the rinds start to look translucent and the juice has reduced by half, set aside to cool. - 2
Transfer everything to the small bowl of a food processor and blitz until you have smooth, spreadable paste (similar to lemon curd - add extra water if needed). You’ll make more than you need. Store in a sterilised jar, refrigerate, for up to a month.
- 3
Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the eg whites, soy sauce, cornflour, 1/2 tsp salt and a good grind of pepper just until there aren’t any lumps, about 30 seconds.

Working with 1 breast at a time, place a chicken between two pieces of baking paper and use a meat mallet to pound the chicken evenly so it’s just 1 cm thick.
- 5
Transfer to the egg - white bowl and continue with the remaining chicken breast. Stir everything together gently to coat, then marinate for at least 1 hour or refrigerate overnight if you are getting ahead.

Make the sauce by first putting 3 tbsp of cheat’s preserved lemon, the stock, melter butter, garlic, sugar, turmeric and half the cumin into a medium saucepan and placing in on a medium high heat.

Bring to the boil, then cook for 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until reduced by about a third. Measure out roughly tbsp of the sauce into a small bowl, add the cornflour and whisk until there are no lumps. Whisk this back into the saucepan and cook for 1 minute on medium high, whisking continuously, until smooth and thickened slightly. Remove from the heat.

Heat the sunflower oil in a large high sided frying pan over a medium high heat. Once hot, fry two or four chicken breast depends of the size of the pan and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen with kitchen paper. Continue cook the remaining chicken breast.
- 9
Pour off the oil into a bowl, add the lemon sauce to the frying pan and bring to a simmer on a medium high heat. Put back the chicken breasts and cook for just 3 minutes, gently turning them halfway through.

Transfer the chicken breasts to a large serving platter with a lip (cutting them into strips, if you like) and pour the sauce all over. Sprinkle with the remaining cumin. In a small bowl, toss together the spring onion, coriander and lemon juice and spoon this all over.
