Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into chunks, then season them with salt and pepper to taste, and dredge them with flour until well coated. Place a pan on a stove over high heat, then heat the oil, and fry the chicken in batches to not overcrowd the pan.

Step 2

Cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes, then set them aside on a plate, and then in the same pan, melt the butter. Saute the garlic until fragrant, then add the flour, and cook them over low heat until the flour taste is gone.

Step 3

Add the oregano and sugar, then mix them well to combine, and add in the lemon juice and broth. Give them a good mix until well combined, then cooked them until thickened, and put the fried chicken back into the pan. Gently mix them until well coated, then cook them for an additional 5 minutes, and serve. Enjoy!
