Lime & Chilli Chicken Stir Fry!

Hey everyone, sorry we've been so busy behind closed doors preparing ideas for Christmas! It's not that far away and in the baking world we need to be prepared super early!

So last week I made a completely new dish- Lime & Chilli Chicken Stir Fry. The great thing about a stir fry is that you can add anything to it and you can make it with things that need using up in your fridge! This recipe serves 4 people or 2 people over two nights.

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts chopped into chunks

2 Carrots chopped into strips

150g Frozen/Fresh Peas

2 Cloves of Garlic crushed

1 Red Chilli chopped (optional)

2 teaspoons of Cajun Seasoning

2 teaspoons of Chilli Flakes

1 teaspoon of Coriander

1/2 teaspoon of Basil

Juice of 1 Lime

2-4 nests of Dry Egg Noodles (depending on whether it's for 4 or 2 people)

Method:

1. Heat some oil (sunflower or vegetable works best) in a pan, add the chicken and crushed garlic and cook on a medium heat.

2. Meanwhile in a pan of boiling water add the strips of carrots and frozen/fresh peas and cook on a medium heat.

3. Once the chicken is cooked, add the cajun seasoning, chilli flakes, coriander. basil, the juice of one lime and optional chilli and stir thoroughly so that the all the chunks of chicken get seasoned.

4. Add the carrots and peas to the pan and stir thoroughly.

5. In another pan of boiling water add the dry egg noodles and cook according to the instructions on the packet. I used Sharwood's Egg Noodles and cooked our noodles for 4 minutes.

6. To serve put a portion of the noodles into a pasta bowl adding some of chicken and vegetables on top.

Enjoy!
