Honey Garlic Chicken

Updated: 25 Apr 2015

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Salad onions
  • Brown rice
  • Chicken stock cube
  • Peas

  • Soy sauce

  • 1/2 cup plain flour

  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Salt, pepper

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsbp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp cornflour

Method

  1. Use a meat hammer to flatten the chicken breasts.
  2. Combine the plain flour and herbs in a large bowl. Beat the egg in a separate bowl.
  3. Dredge the chicken breasts first in the flour, then the egg, then the flour mixture again, then place in a frying pan drizzled with a little garlic oil.
  4. Meanwhile cook half a mug of brown rice with 2 mugs water and 1 chicken stock cube- about 35 minutes.
  5. To make the honey sauce, combine the honey, garlic, and soy sauce. Combine the cornflour with a drop of water and stir. Add to the honey / soy sauce; simmer for about 2 minutes or until thickened.
  6. Fry the chicken for about 5 minutes a side until golden and crispy. You might need more oil.
  7. Serve with a garnish of salad onions and some microwaved frozen peas.

N.B the sauce is very sweet; a drizzle would be ample. Consider using less honey next time or adjusting the quantities.
