Evening cheryl
One of my favorite recipes is chicken with ginger/lemon/soy - think i stuck it on the recipes thread a while ago
How you doing?
Hi hun. How are you? Can you post me a link to it? I cant make it tomorrow though as im at work so it will either be a kebab, a sarnie or something from the chip shop. unless i stop at m&s garage on the way.

Chicken and Fennel with Lemon and Ginger
From Sainsbury's Quick & Easy Chinese Meals by Roz Denny
Ingredients (serves 4)
4 chicken breasts (with skins)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lemon
300 ml (1/2 pint) chicken stock
1 teaspoon clear honey
2 teaspoons cornflour
2 tablespoons groundnut oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2.5 cm (1 inch) cube fresh root ginger, cut into thin sticks
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 bulbs of fennel, sliced
Method
Rub the chicken with the soy sauce and leave for 15 minutes.
Pare the rind from the lemon, then cut into very thin strips. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice. Blend the juice with the stock, honey, cornflour and any soy sauce remaining after marinating the chicken. Set aside.
Heat the oils in a wok, add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes, turning until browned all over. Remove and set aside.
Add the ginger, garlic and fennel to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Return the chicken with the lemon rind.
Pour in the blended stock, stir well, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
Serve with rice or pasta.
Comments
I normally use boneless breasts as it is easier to ensure everything is cooked through without overcooking the chicken.
It is worth making "too much" of this recipe and freezing the left overs. I recommend using this as a base for a lovely risotto. Defrost the chicken and sauce. Cut up the chicken into bite size chunks. If there is not enough chicken, cube another breast and fry for 3 minutes. Put everything in a pan, add easy cook rice and additional water and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice cooked. Add more liquid as necessary. You do not need to use risotto rice as the existing sauce will be thick & creamy.
