Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 600g chicken breast

For the Marinade

• 2 tbsp black bean and garlic sauce
• ½ tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 fresh chilli, chopped

Method

1. Prepare the chicken

Wash and pat the chicken breasts dry.

Set aside.

2. Marinate the chicken

Mix the black bean sauce, honey, sesame oil and chopped chilli in a bowl.

Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Reserve any remaining marinade for cooking.

3. Pan-fry the chicken

Heat a flat frying or griddle pan over medium-high heat.

Pan-fry the chicken breasts for approximately 2 minutes on each side.

Brush the chicken with the remaining marinade.

Transfer to a preheated oven at 170°C and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

4. BBQ the chicken

Alternatively, place the marinated chicken on a barbecue grill.

Cover with a lid and grill for approximately 10 minutes.

If cooking without a lid, grill for approximately 13 minutes.

Brush the chicken with the remaining marinade and grill for a further 2 minutes.

5. Serve

Check that the chicken is fully cooked before serving.

Slice and serve hot with your choice of rice, noodles or vegetables.
