Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

6-8 chicken breasts - (2 per person)

4 tbsp plain flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp unsalted butter

5 cloves finely chopped garlic

Handful of thinly sliced chives

200g honey

350ml chicken stock

3 tbsp rice vinegar

3 tbsp dark soy sauce

Handful of fresh chopped parsley to serve 

Method

Cut the chicken into strips between 5 and 7 cm long

Make up the stock in a jug with boiling water

Mix the honey, rice vinegar and soy sauce in a bowl

Toss the chicken in a bowl with the flour, salt and pepper until fully coated. Optionally add some breadcrumbs to make the outside more crispy

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat

Add the chicken and cook on both sides until golden brown

Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then add the garlic and spring onions and stir everything together. Turn the heat down to medium so the garlic doesn't burn

Add the stock and the bowl of sauce to the pan

Turn the heat up and bring the sauce to the boil, then simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens

Make sure the chicken is no longer pink in the middle

Sprinkle on the chopped parsley and serve over boiled rice.
