Easy Sticky Chicken
So I’m going to treat you to my version of Easy Sticky Chicken, slimming style 🙂
I know I know another chicken dish!! I can’t help it – I love it and chicken is so lean and versatile.
Honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic and ginger – so so good!
The ginger and garlic really make it for me
Sticky and sweet with a hint of warmth from the ginger. This is is a balanced blend of all those lovely flavours with a really sticky texture
Sweet & Sticky – just look at it
The Ingredients for Sticky Chicken
It’s a really simple recipe and it’s really wonderful
No fancy pants stuff here, just Easy Peasy lemon squeezy
Marinading your Sticky Chicken Dish
This is such an easy recipes, simply toss all your marinade ingredients together
Add your chicken, stir really well cover and pop in the fridge to marinade for minimum 30 minutes
If you have longer then marinade for longer – the flavour only improves
Into the pan – yum yum
It will look a little watery at this stage, but as it cooks it will reduce and at the end be golden and sticky
Be CAREFUL here as you will see it go very brown and super sticky – remove it from the heat at that point else it will burn.
(It’s the honey that does this)
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
And the finished article after 20 minutes in the pan
Beautiful & golden – sticky, sweet and delicious
What to serve with your Sticky Chicken
Simply serve with boiled rice maybe?
I also love it with tender stem broccoli and asparagus, which I pop in a pan with Fry Light and a tablespoon of water (lid on)
I also guess it would be great with noodles too? And maybe spring onions and mushrooms in the noodles? Yum!
I also eat the sticky chicken cold and chopped in salads, it really is so good. Sticky and so full of flavour, borimngh salads are banished 🙂
The Deets
Everything is free except the honey
If you want to count the Syns for SW – honey is 2.5 per Tablespoon – so that’s 5 for the whole dish
= 2.5 per portion as this serves 2

Beautiful dish. Can it be frozen when cooked ?

Hi Lesley – thank you
I haven’t tried but I don’t see why not?
May dry out a little – maybe don’t reduce as much so you have more liquid?

Really easy and the whole family loved it.
