Chinese Chicken

This is actually called Sweet and Sour Chicken, and is from one of my SW cookbooks but I think of this more as Chinese chicken. Don't be under any illusions that it tastes like your local Chinese takeaway - it doesn't - but it is EASILY my favourite SW recipe.


Ingredients (serves 4):
100ml passata
4 chicken breast fillet
6 spring onions
2 garlic cloves
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp sweetener
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice

Instructions:
1. Dice and place chicken in a bowl. Add chopped spring onions, garlic, seasoning and light soy sauce. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Spray a pan with fry light and cook chicken mixture for 5 minutes.

3. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir well. Bring to the boil.

4. Reduce the heat and cook for 3-4 minutes. Serve with rice or noodles, and garnish with sliced spring onions.

Note: I also like to add vegetables - stir fry before adding the sauce mixture.
