Tips to Make This Easy Spicy Honey Mustard Chicken:

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken breast

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 1 piece (around 2 cm) fresh ginger

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 2 tbsp mustard

  • 1 red onion

  • 2 small red chillies

  • 1 bell pepper

  • 1 tbsp oil for cooking

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into uniform strips and placing them in a mixing bowl.
  • Make the Marinade: Grate the garlic and ginger, then combine them in a small bowl with sesame oil, honey, mustard, and soy sauce. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade sauce over the chicken strips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with the flavours.
  • Prep the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, finely chop the red chililes and slice the onion and bell pepper into strips, setting them aside for later use.
  • Sauté the Chicken: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Incorporate the Vegetables: Once the chicken is browned, add the chilli, onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and caramelize alongside the chicken.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Honey Mustard Chicken and vegetable mixture to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top for added flavour. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy with your favourite side dishes or accompaniments, I love it with white rice and steamed veggies.
