1. In a jug, mix together the honey, lemon, stock and soy, then set aside. Toss the chicken with the cornflour so it's completely coated. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the chicken until it changes colour and starts to become crisp around the edges.
2. Add the carrots and red pepper, then fry for 1 min more. Pour the stock into the pan, bring to a simmer, then add the sugar snap peas and bubble everything together for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked and the veg are tender. Serve with noodles.

  Very quick very simple and very tasty - even the kids ate it! Perfect for quick meal after school. Tossing the chicken in the cornflour made such a difference it was so tender and juicy. Definately make again.

  This was easy to make with store cupboard ingredients and tasted lovely. Shelly is right the cornflour made the chicken lovely and moist.

  Delicious. Would probably add more lemon next time. Quick and simple to make, healthy, and very tasty. All round excellent.

  Chicken was good. I found it a bit sweet and sickly I have to say though overall.

  We loved this one. Substituted the chicken for quorn as we're trying to have at least two veggie meals a week. Lower in fat and still as delicious.

  i found that the chicken turned out really nice and had a great texture but the flavours were too subtle, the lemon was not strong enough

  I found the receipe really easy to follow and quick which was just what I needed after a long day at work. The flavours were good but I felt it needed something else to give it a kick.

  Really enjoyed this dish. Chicken had nice flavour and was even better later on once it had cooled in the pan!! Leftovers! Very easy to make, healthy and light. Would definitely make this again.

  Great texture but just not lemony enough - really lacked the kick of proper lemon chicken. Having said that, my children really enjoyed it. Served it with rice and mixed it all in. Will make again but will add lots more lemon next time.

  I added extra lemon juice for some more zing, and used bok choi, baby sweetcorn, baby button mushrooms and mange tout as well as pepper and carrot. I also put in some straight-to-wok pad thai noodles right at the end. A really tasty, quick, healthy meal.

  Needed a bit more cornflour to thicken the sauce than the recipe called for. Other than that it was delicious and a great way of getting veggies into the kids.

  This was really good. I found the balance between the lemon and the honey to be just right. I served it with rice rather than noodles.
