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)
Instructions:
1. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and toss with the flour and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and sesame oil to make the glaze.
3. Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat and add a little oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden all over.
4. Pour in the honey garlic glaze and stir to coat the chicken. Let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over fluffy rice with steamed broccoli or your favourite greens.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
• Swap soy sauce for tamari to make it gluten-free
• Use cauliflower rice or quinoa instead of white rice
• Add a kick with chilli flakes or fresh red chilli
• Stir in steamed edamame or peas for extra fibre
• Garnish with spring onions or sesame seeds for crunch
Storage & Meal Prep:
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container
• Reheat gently in a pan or microwave until piping hot
• The cooked chicken and sauce can be frozen — just add fresh rice when serving
