Ingredients

• ½ cup margarine
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• ½ cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken pieces and garlic. Toss with the flour just to coat, and shake off excess.

Step 2

Heat the margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces; cook and stir until browned. Add the mint leaves and lemon juice, cover and steam for about 5 minutes, just until the chicken is cooked through. Do not over cook the chicken or it will be tough.
