Faux Oriental Style Lemon Chicken

1- 1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp soy flour or other lc flour
Pinch of salt
Olive oil
4 tbsp butter
3 cloves minced garlic
2/3 cup lemon juice
Sweetfree or other sweetener to taste
1 tsp Thicken/Thin or other LC thickener

Cut up chicken into chunks roughly 1 inch in size. Put in ziploc bag, pour in the soy flour over the chicken. Seal the bag with air in it and toss to coat evenly.

Preheat a skillet over medium high heat on your range, and when you're done slicing and coating the chicken in flour, shake the excess flour off the chicken and saute until cooked through.

Remove chicken from pan, reduce heat to medium low, and scrape the "yummies" off the bottom of the pan. Add butter and garlic, being careful not to burn the garlic. When garlic is golden brown and delicious, stir in lemon juice and raise the heat back up to medium high and bring to a boil. Tatse to see how much sweetner is needed and add accordingly. Add the thickening agent and let it simmer for a while until it reaches the desired consistency.

If you prefer an extra "zip," pour on some more lemon juice after everything's plated.
