Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts (about 600g), trimmed and cut into 2-3 cm 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

Method

Step 1: Add the chicken to a bowl, sprinkle over the flour and add some seasoning then toss until the chicken is evenly coated. 

Step 2: Combine the ginger, garlic, soy, honey as well as half the lemon juice in a bowl. Then, heat over a high heat, place the chicken into a large frying pan or wok and fry for 3-4 minutes or until lightly golden.
