To make the delicious and popular lemon chicken recipe, you will need to put the sherry, spring onions and ginger in a bowl. Add the chicken, toss well to coat, then leave to marinate in the bowl for around 15 minutes or so.

Next, heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan. Add the celery, mushrooms and the green pepper. Stir-fry for one minute. Add the chicken and marinade, then cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon rind then cook for a further minute.

Put onto a warmed serving dish and garnish the chicken with lemon slices.
