with Sesame Veggies
Tonight’s chicken is really ‘popping off’ (please forgive the pun). A touch of sweet and a zap of salty and you’ve got chicken that will be popping with flavour (sorry we couldn’t help it). Fragrant garlic rice helps to absorb the sauces and sesame veggies. It’s bound to be a pop-ular dish (okay we’re done now). *This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.*

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanshile, cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cornflour(see ingredients) and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, the soy sauce, honey and water (for the sauce). • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook broccoli & carrot mix, tossing, until tender, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in sesame seeds and remaining garlic paste until fragrant, 1 minute. Season. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Return pan to high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked though (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to low, then add sauce mixture and return all cooked chicken to the pan, tossing until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Divide garlic rice, sticky popcorn chicken and sesame veggies between bowls. • Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
