This is a quick and easy chicken dinner for the whole family. The sweet chilli sauce has a little bit of a bite, but it’s not so hot that the kids won’t love it, too.
Ingredients
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 red onion, halved and sliced
2 garlic cloves
1 large head broccoli, cut into small florets
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced or cut into matchsticks
6 button mushrooms, sliced
1 red capsicum, sliced
3 cups cooked barbecued chicken, shredded
1/3 cup gluten-free sweet chilli sauce
3 tsp honey
Steamed rice, to serve
Method
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring for 1-2 mins or until onion softens.
- Add the broccoli, carrot and mushrooms. Cook, stirring for 2-3 mins. Add the capsicum. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken, sweet chilli sauce, honey, and 1/4 cup water. Cook stirring, for 2-3 mins or until chicken is warmed through and broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Serve chicken stir-fry over steamed rice.
Tips and notes
- Replace the barbecued chicken with sliced chicken thigh fillets. Add before the broccoli in step 2 and cook, stirring for 2 mins.
- To make this dish vegetarian/vegan, swap the chicken for firm tofu. Add before the broccoli in step 2 and cook, stirring for 2 mins.
