Method

  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.

    This tasted gorgeous. I was tempted to add soy, but I'm glad I didn't as it was great without. I used normal broccoli as I find that tenderstem broccoli never lives up to it's name - more like woodystem broccoli. Try this - and don't forget the cashews, they really go well. Oh, and I added some matchsticked carrots when frying the chicken.

    This was delicious! The flavours worked really well together. We didn't have any cornflour so mixed a little plain flour and water together as a replacement. The sauce was quite watery but that didn't take anything away from the dish; in fact it soaked int the rice giving it a lovely flavour.We served it with basmati rice.Will make this again soon.
