Am I chicken?? I think not!!

Ok, so yesterday saw the debut in my short series of recipes with my favorite “meal when you have time to cook it”.  Today sees this long running series come to an end with my favorite “I’ve come home from work and want something in 15 mins” recipe of Chicken (or Pork) with Rice.

Take 400g of Chicken Breast  or Pork Loin and chop to a small dice.

Heat some oil in a large wok and add a tbsp of honey to it.

Add the chicken and a finely chopped small chilli to the wok and cook for around 3-4 mins until brown.

Chop finely a large onion and a large pepper and add to the chicken.

Cook for another 3-4 mins turning regularly.

Add some fresh/dried herbs to the wok, 2 tbsp of tomato puree and a jar of a tomato based pasta sauce (for those of you here in Blighty, can I recommend Lloyd Grosman’s Tomato & Chilli to give it a real kick) and stir together.

Serve the dish with either Rice or Pasta and I would recommend microwaveable versions of either to again cut down on cooking time.

Very tasty and this base recipe can be easily tailored with other ingredients, eg. reduce the amount of chicken/pork and add in Chorizio sausage, serve with Noodles, there are 101 different flavours of Pasta sauce out there, less chill, more chilli.  The possibilities are endless.
