Sear the chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the sauce

Thermomix® Setting

10 sec/Speed 3

Add the ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ground black pepper to the mixing bowl. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 3.

Simmer the chicken in sauce

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
