    The second time I made it I upped the ante by sautéeing some garlic, ginger & chilli in a little oil before adding the chicken strips, have to say we all preferred & enjoyed the extras.

    Lovely! Really easy to make, would definitely cook again. Added the extras as Alison suggested which gave it a real kick.

    Disappointing - the rice was strange and I found the chicken and vegetables too wet, perhaps my lime was too juicy. Ken Hom does a much nicer chicken with cashew nuts. Wont make this one again.

    One of our favourite recipes! I cook the chicken first, then add the honey and soy sauce, but I keep meaning to try putting everything in at once. I also tried adding the extra chilli, garlic and ginger (using those preserved jars) and it was even better. Definitely a good tip, thankyou! We throw some broccoli and carrot strips in with the almost cooked chicken to bulk it out a bit.

    Cooked again tonight but with prawns instead of chicken and slightly less honey, delicious especially with some extra chilli for a bit of a kick!

    I made it without any extras, and found it a bit bland and nothing-y. Thought it tasted very strongly of honey, too.

    Lovely. I served it with the broccoli & chilli stir fry rather than the rice so put the toasted cashews in with the chicken & it was excellent - the chicken was really tender. I've just realised that I missed the lime out though - I got the lime back from the shop, forgot what it was for & had it in a G&T instead. Will probably do the same next time!

    I have a variation on this. Chicken breast sliced and marinaded in soy sauce+chinese wine (or sherry). One tsp each chilli, garlic ginger, finely chopped, stir fry in oil one min, add sliced spring onion, sliced carrot, celery, red and/or green pepper, fry 1 minute, add chicken breast with marinade, stir fry 5 mins, add cashew nuts and cooked noodles, heat through and serve. Great.

    I love this recipe! So easy to make and super healthy. I did as others suggested and fried some fresh chilies and garlic before adding the chicken and it is lovely. Have made it three times now and it is a firm favourite with me and the Mr.
