STIR FRIED CHICKEN WITH VEGGIES AND CRUSHED PEANUTS...


Easy peasy dinner or lunch recipe that preps and cooks in 20 minutes.

1kg Boneless chicken breast
Mixed vegetables - broccoli, red bell peppers, green pepper, runner beans - washed & sliced at home or out of a bag like mine (my excuse, i was on vacation :D)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Curry
A dash of vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
100ml chicken stock
2 tablespoons flour
Onions
Salt and and pepper
Dried chili flakes
Ginger and garlic - crushed
Handful of crushed peanuts

Cut chicken into even sized pieces for even cooking time. Put in a bowl and spice with ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and onion. Coat the chicken with flour, cover bowl with cling film and set in the fridge for 30 minutes - 24hours.




 Pour oil in a pan/pot/wok and turn the heat on and fry the chicken for until golden brown then add vegetables, turn down the heat and allow to cook for another 2 minutes.

Mix the worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sugar, vinegar thoroughly and add the chicken stock. OR go out and buy a stir fry mix in the shops.

Pour this mixture over the chicken and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. The flour that the chicken was coated with will bind everything together so don't worry if it appears a bit thin. If it happens to me too thin though, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with a little water or the sauce from the pot to make a paste and pour back into the pot.

Just before you take it off the heat, add your peanuts.

Serve with rice, noodles or potatoes.

 Cheers!
