## Ingredients

- 300 g chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 35 g cornflour
- 1 medium medium egg white
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp reduced sugar sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 100 ml water
- 1 tsp cornflour (mixed with a splash of water)
- 250 g microwave long grain rice
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds

## Instructions

1. Add the chicken to a bowl with the egg white, salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well until fully coated.
2. Dip each piece of chicken individually into the cornflour so it’s lightly coated.
3. Air fry at 200°C for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly golden and cooked through. Or cook the chicken in a pan with a little oil over medium-high heat.
4. Mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, water and cornflour slurry in a bowl until smooth.
5. Pour the sauce into a hot pan and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously as it thickens.
6. Add the cooked chicken to the pan and toss quickly just enough to coat it while keeping a slight crisp on the outside. Remove from the heat.
7. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions then fluff with a fork.
8. Divide the rice between bowls, top with the chicken and spoon over any extra sauce. Finish with sliced spring onion and sesame seeds.
