Ingredients

  • Cashew: a large handful of roasted cashews
  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • Lemon: the zest of half a lemon and the juice of a whole one
  • Chicken: 340g pack of mini chicken breast fillets (sometimes called goujons)
  • Chicken Stock: 200ml chicken stock
  • Broccoli: 200g pack tender stem broccoli, stems halved if very long
  • Honey: 1 tbsp clear honey or 2 tsp golden caster sugar
  • Groundnut Oil: 1 tbsp groundnut oil or sunflower oil
  • Cornflour: 1 heaped tsp cornflour

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the chicken and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and add the garlic and broccoli. Stir fry for a minute or so then cover and cook for 2 minutes more, until almost tender.
  2. Mix the stock, cornflour and honey or sugar well, then pour into the pan and stir until thickened. Tip the chicken back into the pan and let it heat through, then add the lemon zest and juice, and cashew nuts. Stir, then serve straight away with basmati rice or noodles.
