Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

Serves 4

• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 1 mug chicken stock (not filled to the rim!)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornflour
• 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes

• handful of mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• Place a large nonstick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil to pan, and tilt to coat evenly. Add chicken, and stir-fry 5 minutes or until it is no longer pink in center. Remove and set aside.
• Combine the chicken stock and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl or simply in the mug (to save on washing up!). Stir until cornsflour dissolves. Set aside.
• Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan; add pepper strips and broccoli; stir-fry 1 minute. Add mushrooms (if using), and stir-fry 30 seconds. Increase heat to high. Stir stock mixture, and add to pan with soy sauce, chicken, and any accumulated juices. Bring to a boil; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Serve with rice or noodles (NB: this is not included in the calorie count)
