Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts diced
  • 2 –3 tbsp cornflour
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh spring onion sliced
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Cube your chicken breast and toss it in cornflour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Heat sesame oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.
