Sticky Lemon Chicken Salad

A fresh dinner that's ready in 25 minutes, this Asian-inspired salad will be a firm family favourite.

 

Preparation time - 15 minutes

Cook time - 10 minutes

Serves - 4 people

 

What you will need:

  • 160ml (2/3 cup) chicken liquid stock
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice)
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) honey
  • Vegetable oil, to deep fry
  • 75g (1/2 cup) self-raising flour
  • 70g (1/2 cup) cornflour
  • 500g chicken tenderloins
  • 460g Asian Style salad
  • 2 baby gem lettuces, leaves seperated

How it's made:

Place stock, lemon juice and honey in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced and thickened slightly. Remove from heat. Cover.

Sift flour and cornflour into a large bowl. Cut each tenderloin in half crossways and lengthways. Working in 2 batches, toss chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Place on a plate. Gradually whisk 185ml (3/4 cup) water into flour until smooth. Fill a large saucepan one-third full of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to flour mixture. Turn to coat. Add 1 chicken piece to pan to test oil (it should sizzle immediately). Cook chicken, in 3 batches, for 2 1/2 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.

Add the chick to lemon sauce. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to coat. Toss salad and the lettuce in a large mixing bowl with dressing and crispy noodles. Divide the salad among plates. Top with the chicken. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
