Honey Chook
September 12, 2006 chicken & game, mains
This one is really nice to fry up and serve with rice, salad or roasted vegetables (especially the sweet orange veggies like pumpkin, carrot and kumara)
Serves: 2
Prep: 3 min
Cook time: 7min
Ingredients:
One chicken breast sliced into two slices
Half a teaspoon crushed garlic
One and a half tablespoons of honey
One small red chili deseeded and sliced
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
The browned honey in the pan is lovely.
1. Lay out the two chicken breast slices side by side and season with salt and pepper.
2. Drizzle one side of the chicken with honey and spread on half of the chopped garlic. I like to mince some up and immerse it in olive oil, it works nicely with this dish. Top with a little of the chili.
3. Place into a fry pan which is quite hot with some olive oil with the marinated side down and add the remaining honey, garlic and chili to the other side while in the pan.
4. As the chicken slices are quite thin it shouldn’t take very long and will have a nice brownness about it.
5. While it is cooking I added a quarter of a Spanish onion for garnish which topped it off. This is optional.
