Ingredients
500g Moy Park diced chicken
50g finely diced spring onion
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 heaped tbsp ginger purée
1 heaped tbsp garlic purée
½ tsp salt
½ tsp Chinese five-spice
½ tsp cracked black pepper
½ tsp chilli powder
40ml rapeseed oil
Method
To make the marinade, place the chicken in a bowl, adding all the ingredients, then mix together by hand or with a spatula.
Heat the oil in a deep-sided frying pan. Add chicken and cook on a medium heat for 15 minutes, making sure you turn the chicken so it is cooked evenly.
To make the sauce, place all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce by a third, until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
To finish, add the broccoli, spring onions and bird's-eye chillis to the pan with the cooked chicken and cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add the sauce and cook for a further five minutes. Serve with boiled white rice and steamed pak choi on the side.
