Honey Stir Fry Chicken Sauce

I went to visit my best fried last week and after the catch up process, we proceeded to the kitchen as she wanted to make her food for the week. She had numerous things on the menu one of which was honey stir fry chicken sauce. I quickly volunteered to help with that as I did not want to dwell in the kitchen for too long.

Am I the only one that seems to want to leave the kitchen early but make sure the food tastes great? My best friend is the opposite, she would rather take her time in the kitchen to achieve the same result of great tasting food. I quickly got to work and in just a little above 30 minutes, I was done. I believe it even took me longer because someone else was in my space as I was cooking. This dish is the perfect dinner recipe to have with pasta or rice or yam if you are feeling adventurous. Plantain didn’t work well for me because it was too sweet. Hope you enjoy this simple recipe this lovely Sunday.

Recipe for Honey Stir Fry Chicken Sauce

Ingredients

1 pound of chicken breast (chopped)

1/4 of a small cabbage (shredded)

4 pieces of medium carrots (chopped)

1 green bell pepper (chopped)

1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)

4 Spring onions (chopped)

1 small red onion (chopped)

1 scotch bonnet pepper (chopped)

3 Tablespoons of Ketchup

2 Tablespoons of Barbecue Sauce

1 Tablespoon of Chili powder

A small piece of Ginger

4 cloves of garlic

2 tablespoons of Honey

2 tablespoons of butter

1 cooking spoon of Vegetable Oil

Seasoning cubes

Method

Season your chopped chicken breast with the chopped scotch bonnet pepper and 1 seasoning cube and set aside.

In a blender, combine the ketchup, barbecue sauce, chili powder, ginger, 2 cloves of garlic, half of the chopped red onions, chicken seasoning cubes and honey. Blend till smooth and pour over the chicken breast. Pierce the chicken breasts with a fork so the seasoning can sip through it.

If you have not chopped your vegetables, you can begin chopping them at this point while your chicken is marinating.

In a pan, pour in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 cooking spoon of vegetable oil and allow to heat up on medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, toss in the remaining 2 cloves of garlic and the rest of the chopped red onions and stir fry.

Add all the chopped vegetables, season with seasoning cubes, stir fry for one minute and transfer into a bowl so the vegetables do not get soggy.

Add the rest of the butter and vegetable oil to the pan and allow to heat again.

Add the marinated chicken and stir fry on high heat for about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat and allow to cook. This would take 15-18 minutes depending on the size of the chicken and your cooker.

Taste the chicken to see if it’s done and add the vegetables back to the chicken. Stir fry on high heat for 1 minute and serve with rice, pasta or yam.
