Chicken Teriyaki

serves 4

Ingredients:

Chicken:

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 600g chicken breast
* 500g broccoli
* 2 garlic cloves
* 3 large carrots
* Chili flakes, to taste
* 500g rice or noodles.

Teriyaki Sauce:

* 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
* ⅓ cup soy sauce
* ⅓ cup water
* 4 tablespoons corn starch
* ¼ cup honey

Preparation:

Peel the ginger and mince it, then combine in a sauce pan with the rest of the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce. Heat the sauce up on medium heat, Stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Set aside.

Meanwhile cut the chicken in cubes, the carrot in slices and the broccoli in florets. Peel the garlic and mince, or finely cut it. Cook or steam the broccoli until they soften a bit, they still need to be crunchy! Set aside. Start boiling the noodles or rice.

Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the chicken in a single layer. Fry it undisturbed, for about 3 minutes or until brown, then flip and fry the other side until browned.
Add the garlic, carrots and teriyaki sauce, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Now add the steamed/boiled broccoli to the cooked chicken and sauce. Sprinkle with chili flakes if you like it spicy and mix.
Lower the heat and wait until the rice or noodles are done, if they aren't already.
Serve with rice or noodles.
