INGREDIENTS
1 chicken breast
1 cup of broccoli florets
1/2 bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon of roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon of minced ginger
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 teaspoon of chili oil
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup
Salt and pepper to taste
Spring onions, chopped, for garnish
METHOD
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large zip-top bag, combine flour, diced chicken, salt, and pepper. Shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly.
2. Cook the Chicken:
In an oiled skillet, cook the chicken until it reaches about 90% doneness. The slightly golden exterior adds a delightful texture to the dish.
3. Add the Veggies and Peanuts:
Introduce broccoli, bell pepper, peanuts, minced ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for a few minutes, ensuring the veggies maintain a crisp-tender texture.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
In a separate bowl, whisk together sesame oil, chili oil, honey, and tomato ketchup to create a sweet and savoury sauce.
5. Combine and Simmer:
Pour the sauce over the contents in the skillet. Simmer for a minute or two, allowing the sauce to heat up and gently thicken, creating a glossy coat for the stir-fry.
6. Serve and Garnish:
Spoon the Honey Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry over a bed of rice. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onions for a burst of freshness.
