Sticky citrus chicken

2 skinless chicken breasts
1 heaped tbsp plain flour
seasoned
2 tbsp olive oil
1 banana shallot
finely sliced
1 carrot

0.5 x 500g tub fresh chicken stock
juice and zest 1 lemon
juice and zest 1 orange
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp clear honey
cooked spring greens
to serve
steamed rice
to serve

Method

step 1
Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of baking parchment and lightly bash with a rolling pin to flatten. Dip each one in the flour to coat on both sides. Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the chicken for 2 mins each side until golden. Remove and set aside.
step 2
Add the remaining oil to the pan and tip in the shallot and carrot. Cook for 5 mins or until soft. Add the chicken stock, citrus juice and zests, soy sauce and honey. Continue to bubble down for 10 mins until thickened.
step 3
Return the chicken to the pan and turn down the heat. Simmer for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and glossy. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water. Season the chicken and serve with the sauce spooned over. Serve with greens and rice.
