Ingredients

50 g (2 tbsp) honey

1 lemon juiced and zested 

1/2 tsp chilli flakes 

1/2 tsp mixed herbs 

250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock

50 ml (2 oz) booze. Marsala is ideal, if not, use sherry, brandy or rum.

Few grinds of black pepper 

1 tbsp olive oil 

500 g (1 lb) chicken breasts, sliced into 1-2 cm steaks

fresh chopped parsley to garnish

Method


  1. In a bowl, combine the honey, lemon juice, 1 tsp of lemon zest, chilli flakes, mixed herbs and stock and set aside.
  2. Add the olive oil to the pan and add the chicken breasts. Fry for around 5-10 minutes on a medium to high heat until they are about 90% cooked through.
  3. Pour the booze over the chicken and burn off some of the alcohol for a minute or so and scrape off any bits of food stuck to the bottom of the pan. This is called 'deglazing'.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Keep the heat quite high and simmer for about 8-10 minutes until it has significantly reduced and thickened. It should be more like a thick glaze rather than a runny sauce.
  5. Serve the chicken and sauce with a slice of lemon, your favourite vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley.
