Prep: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Serves: 4

Per Serving Approx. 

Ingredients

• 600g Diced Chicken Breast
• 6 Crushed Garlic Cloves
• 2 Inch Sliced Piece Of Ginger
• 1 Chopped Red Chilli
• 1/2 Cup Runny Honey
• 1/2 Cup Dark Soy Sauce
• 6 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
• 4 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Method

Step 1

Heat a dash of olive oil in a large frying pan, adding the diced chicken and turning regularly, browning all sides

Step 2

Once cooked through, remove the pan from the heat and set aside, leaving the chicken inside to cool

Step 3

To make the sauce, place a deep saucepan with no lid on the hob, adding the rice wine vinegar, honey, dark soy sauce and hoisin sauce into the pan

Step 4

As the wet ingredients start to warm, add in the chilli, crushed garlic and sliced ginger

Step 5

Bring to the boil, and reduce the sauce until it’s a consistency you’re happy with, stirring constantly to avoid burning. We left it for about 13 minutes, but the sauce will be runnier when warm than when it cools so keep that in mind

Step 6

Remove the ginger slices and any large pieces of chilli, and add the sauce into the same pan as the chicken, removing some into a dish before hand if you want to keep some aside for dipping

Step 7

Stir the sauce through the chicken, making sure it’s thoroughly coated, and then serve up onto your plate drizzling any remaining sauce over the top

Step 8

If you fancy, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top of the diced chicken or some freshly chopped spring onions

Enjoy!
