Honey chicken recipe | Good Food

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)

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.
