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

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 – sticky chicken

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)

And the finished article after 20 minutes in the pan

Beautiful & golden – sticky, sweet and delicious – it’s SOOOOO good

What to serve with your Easy 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 🙂

Storing, Freezing your Sticky Chicken

If there are any leftovers – which I doubt, y our Sticky Chicken will keep really well in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Make sure you cool your chicken, pop in a airtight container and refrigerate as soon as cool

When you are ready to reheat (it’s good cold too) you can use a pan on the hob or a microwave. Just make sure it is piping hot all the way through

You can also freeze this Sticky Chicken. but in my honest opinion is not as good after. However if you’d like too, again pop its in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Let it thaw and then reheat as above

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
