2.	In shallow bowl, mix Bisquick mix, bread crumbs, lemon peel and gingerroot. Pour 1/2 cup water into another shallow bowl. Dip chicken into water, then coat with Bisquick mixture.
3.	In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
4.	Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, the sugar, cornstarch, gingerroot and food color. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly. Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Cook chicken in oil 11 to 13 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of chicken reads 170°F.

Do-Ahead

Before work in the morning, flatten chicken breasts, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Make the breading mixture and cover. If you have time, you can make the sauce, too, then refrigerate. When you get home, sit down to dinner in less than 15 minutes!

Special Touch

Cut the chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch slices before serving, and garnish with maraschino cherries.

Time Saver

Look for jars of grated gingerroot in water in the produce section. The fresh flavor and convenience can’t be beat. You can also grate fresh gingerroot ahead of time and freeze, then use as needed.
