Chop the onions and fry in a tblsp of oil until transparent and cooked through
Add the chicken and brown well
Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small dish
Add the sauce to the chicken, leave off the lid and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through
Drain the chickpeas and add to the pan, warm through. Keep the chickpea liquid and use as aquafaba to make meringues or mayonnaise
Serve while hot, or store in the fridge until needed. This dish freezes beautifully, so good for batch cooking
Notes
Priced at Aldi, May 2021
Increase or reduce the honey, soy sauce, tomato puree vinegar, garlic or chill sauce until it is as you like it.
Swap out the chicken for a white fish, or prawns, leftover roast pork or whatever meat you have and want to use.
Or use a vegetarian meat substitute like TVP
Make it vegetarian by swapping out the chicken for potato chunks, butternut squash, pumpkin or a mix eg sweetcorn, green beans and mushrooms. Make sure to use some lentils, butter beans or chickpeas for the protein
Make it vegan by swapping out the honey for golden syrup or some other vegan sweetener and using all vegetables and a pulse of some kind, or include chunks of tofu
