Honey chicken

Rustle up this family-friendly honey chicken, flavoured with garlic, soy sauce, lemon and ginger, in 30 minutes. Serve with rice and broccoli for a filling meal

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts (about 600g), trimmed and cut into 2-3cm cubes
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 40g piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 6 tbsp soy sauce
• 5 tbsp honey
• ½-1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tbsp sunflower, vegetable, rice bran or rapeseed oil
• cooked rice and steamed broccoli, to serve (optional)

Directions

Method

• STEP 1

  Tip the chicken into a bowl, sprinkle over the flour and some seasoning and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.

• STEP 2

  Combine the ginger, garlic, soy, honey and half the lemon juice in a bowl. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat and fry the chicken for 3-4 mins until lightly golden. Tip in the honey sauce and stir-fry for 10 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon. Taste for seasoning and squeeze over the remaining lemon juice, if needed, then serve with rice and steamed broccoli, if you like.
