Ingredients

  • 400g chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 250g brocollini, halved lengthways
  • 200g sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 200g green beans, trimmed and halved lengthways
  • 1 pear, cored and sliced
  • 50g dry roasted cashew nuts

Method

  1. Portion the chicken into 4 x 100g fillets and pound down to an even thickness.
  2. Combine the hoisin sauce, honey, 1 tbsp of the soy sauce and 1/2 tbsp of the sesame oil to make a marinade. Marinate the chicken for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the greens.
  3. Place the broccolini, beans and sugar snap peas into a heatproof dish. Pour over boiling water and allow to stand for 2-3 minutes. Drain, refresh and stir through the pear and cashew nuts.
  4. Combine rice wine vinegar with the remaining soy and sesame oil. Stir well and pour over the salad.
  5. Spray a non-stick pan lightly with cooking oil and heat over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, basting regularly with the remaining marinade mix, or until the chicken is cooked through (this will depend on the thickness of your chicken).
  6. Slice the chicken and serve with the salad.
