Takeaway-style Chicken
This sticky sweet and salty takeaway-style dish takes minutes. When I want comfort food, it satisfies the craving but it’s surprisingly high in fibre,... diversity and protein. You could easily swap out the chicken for tofu instead if you prefer to keep it plant based. I generally use whatever vegetables I have in the fridge to toss into a wok, but the classic pairing of peppers and green beans is what I would reach for. This is a crowd-pleasing, flavourful, family-style recipe that has a ton of fibre and plant polyphenols, helping everyone to be healthier with each bite.

Ingredients
Method
1. Mix the soy sauce with the chicken in a mixing bowl, dust in the cornflour to coat and leave to marinate for 15–20 minutes.
2. Drizzle the chicken with the oil, then spread out evenly in a lined air fryer and cook at 200°C for 15 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200°C for 20–25 minutes.
3. Mix the sauce ingredients with 4 tablespoons of water and set aside.
4. Heat a large wok over a medium–high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds before adding the peppers and green beans or sugar snap peas and stir-frying for 3–4 minutes.
5. Add the chicken to the wok, then add the sauce and give everything a good mix. The sauce will reduce and thicken quickly so be sure to keep the ingredients moving in the wok.
6. When the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat. Serve on a platter with the warm rice, spring onions and chives. Garnish with the toasted peanuts.

Okay recipe, not my favourite
Gorgeous! Thank you.
Great dish
Absolutely delicious!
This is seriously good, it will be a regular weekly dish now. It’s easy to tweak the veg to what you like or have in. I didn’t add the spring onions or chives to keep the FODMAPS down.
Our family really enjoyed this one! I added even more veggies. Shredded purple cabbage and carrots. The chicken tasted amazing. Great texture.
Really fresh and tasty 😋
Tried this menu for the first time tonight and found it very very tasty, definitely going into my favourites, very Impressed with how good it was considering how easy it was to make. Once again your wizards in your kitchens working their magic to make me appear like a very competent chef. On another note I added some mixed frozen veg in the rice for the last 5 mins of cooking to add a few more vegetable points for the week.👍👍
This is a favourite in our house, we switched the chicken for crispy tofu and had it with microwave sticky rice to save a bit of time (and washing up), I love how it’s so versatile, you can use up any veg you have left over, or switch the rice out for noodles.
Really enjoyed this one. The name is fitting!
This is an excellent stir-fry with added crispy chicken, I added some broccoli and cooked the veg longer with some water and a lid on.
Took longer than I thought but worth it. Absolutely delicious.
Delicious, perfect for any night of the week
I’ve made this four times already we love it so much. Perfect for a Sat night takeaway !
Loved it.
I just to need to make a little bit more sauce next time.
