Chicken strips in yellow bean sauce served with brown rice

This has got to be the nicest chicken dish ever, it is like nothing you have ever tasted before!

To serve 4 people you will need:

1lb or 450g skinless and boneless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 jar sharwoods yellow bean sauce
1 fresh green chilli
4 teaspoons cornflour
2 tablespoons olive oil
4oz or 100g cashew nuts
12oz or 300g brown rice
Water

Firstly put your rice on to boil

Cut the chicken in thin strips trying to keep them as even as possible so that they cook in the same amount of time.

Cut open the chilli and remove the seeds. Now cut into fine rings

Mix together the yellow bean sauce or paste, the honey and the soy sauce. Then mix the cornflour with 3 tablespoons water until smooth, and add it to the yellow bean mixture.

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and fry the cashew nuts on a low heat until lightly toasted. These can burn very quickly so keep your eye on them. When they are cooked remove them from the pan.

Heat another tablespoon of oil in a pan and on a high heat cook the chicken and the chilli for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is sealed on all sides.

Now add the yellow bean mixture to the pan and stir over a medium heat until all the chicken is glazed and the sauce is thickened. At this point I would recommend cutting open a piece of chicken to check it is cooked properly.

Add the cashew nuts and serve with the rice.

Enjoy!
