Submitted by Karen Coello.

Serves 4. Preparation 20 mins.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp sherry or Chinese rice wine (optional)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup plain flour
  • 400 g to 500 g chicken fillets sliced in 3 or 4 pieces (or use chicken tenderloins)

 

Method:

  1. Combine lemon juice, rice wine, soy sauce and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes or until marinade comes to the boil. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. If time permits marinate chicken in half of the marinade for up to an hour.
  3. Set aside remaining mixture.
  4. Drain chicken, discarding marinade, and lightly coat chicken in flour shaking off the excess.  Heat some oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat.
  5. Add chicken and cook a few minutes until almost cooked through.  Reduce heat to low.
  6. Combine reserved marinade with 2 tbsp cold water. Pour over the chicken, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until sauce is thick and chicken cooked through.
  7. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

It’s easy, fast and tasty! I don’t usually marinate the chicken and so use all the marinade mix to make the sauce. However, if you do marinate the
chicken it gives it a lovely silky texture. The other thing I have started doing is subsituting almond meal for the flour.
