Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g chicken breast cut into strips
  • 3 –4 tablespoons cornflour
  • 3 tablespoons runny honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped finely
  • 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 spring onion sliced
  • 180 g long-grain rice

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cornflour with a pinch of salt. Add the chicken strips and toss until fully coated.
  2. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Once cooked, set it aside and keep warm.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and fry for about 10 minutes, turning as needed, until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
  4. While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. In a medium pan over low heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, chilli flakes, and the juice of the orange. Stir until combined.
  5. Mix the remaining cornflour with 2 tablespoons of water. Add it to the sauce and stir well. Heat gently until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and toss until every piece is well coated.
  7. Serve over rice and finish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion on top.
