Chicken or Choc | Lime & Honey chicken stir fry recipe

As I have more and more deadlines creeping up on me and working on uni and personal projects, I really just don’t have the time for fussy, lengthy cooking recipes but I love trying out new things. So here is a recipe to keeping it simple but having great tasty food.

Today I am going to be sharing with you my lime and honey chicken stir fry recipe. I love this recipe because of the combination of something so sweet and something so tangy as well as all of the ingredients being on the cheaper end and highly accessible.

You will need:

1 breast of chicken

2 limes

Honey

Sharwood noodles

1 bell pepper

1 carrot

For the marinade

Salt

Pepper

Sesame seeds

Olive oil

You can start by boiling the water to prep for you noodles to go in. whilst that is boiling, we can prep for the other ingredients.

Start by cutting your chicken into cubes and placing it in a bowl with some olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika. Then, place it in the fridge to set.

For the marinade, juice your two limes into a bowl. Then add some olive oil, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon and a half of honey and some sesame seeds. These are optional. Then whisk those all together and put that in the fridge to set.

You can also cut up your pepper and shred your carrot at this point.

Add your noodles to the boiling water then strain and leave to one side.

Back in the same pot, add a bit of oil with some onions and garlic. Once all of that has softened, add your chicken and cook and until 95% done.

You can then add your noodles back in with the pepper and carrots and mix until everything is evenly spread around.

Then add the marinade half at time and again, make sure to mix that all in thoroughly. Once you have heated that through you can serve and enjoy!

I made this for a lunch with my favourite girls and I get a thumbs up approval from all of them. What’s great about this recipe is again it is really customisable, and I also made a vegan version too.

As always, if you want to follow along in video format, check out the video below so you can watch me make it too.

I hope you guys enjoy this and have a great weekend!

Things to do this week!

Sunday is always a toss up between lying in bed binging Netflix all day and getting myself ahead of the game for my week ahead. This week, I chose to get ahead and finally update my calendar. Along with that, I love to try new things so here are some things, approved by moi, that you can try out too.

Listen to…Call Me Loop. She popped up on my Instagram and I have to say, I am feeling her vibes. Some feel good music for the week that will keep your spirits high. My favourites are ‘Give and Take’ and ‘As If’

Cook this… I shared this on my Instagram recently but its chickpea, banana and Nutella cakes. Has a weird taste at first but you will end up eating all of them. Mash all three ingredients together with a little bit of baking powder and let the oven do the rest for about 35mins on 200 fan oven. I made this all up as I went along to adjust to how you see fit.

Watch this…The Bold Type. Looking for something to binge centering around the world of digital journalism? This one is for you. Watched the whole thing in a day. I know I have problems but trust me its worth it. Some really relatable dilemmas and characters and a great central focus on women in the industry and issues surrounding social media.

Organise this … a night in or out with your favourites. Whether that’s with friends, family, loved ones or yourself, just some plain old quality time. We can all get so caught up in the hustle and bustle that we forget to schedule in some quality. Its important. Sometimes life can wait, and we just need to press pause for a little.

Hope this changes your schedule a little for this week or the coming weeks.
