INGREDIENTS
3 - 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
60 g flour (1/4 cup)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp olive oil
4-5 minced garlic cloves
1-1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
90 g (1/3 cup) maple syrup or honey (I use maple syrup)
METHOD
Cross cut the chicken, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and dredge in flour to coat.
Fry in butter and olive oil for about 3 minutes on each side.
Add garlic, and just as it colors, add in the A.C. vinegar, soy and honey/maple and reduce.
As the sauce thickens, spoon over the chicken and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked. Turn chicken to coat evenly.
Serve, adding the remaining sauce.
Serve with rice or Asian noodles (optional)
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS
Just before the dish is fully cooked, you may want to add in some fresh vegetables. Consider:
Spring onions
Sugar Snap Peas
Snow Peas
Broccoli florets
Carrot slivers
Mushrooms slices (straw or button)
Bell Pepper slices
Toasted sesame seeds
What ever you choose, make it simple.
Use just 2 or 3 for color and crunch, and be sure not to overcook.
VEGETARIAN OPTION
This sauce would be great with vegetarian options, such as:
Soy curls
Seitan
Tempeh
Tofu
Quorn pieces
Or simply making a pile of vegetables and tossing in the sauce made separately.
