Honey Soy Chicken

I've been quite obsessed with quick and easy meals lately so today I will be sharing with you a savoury recipe: my yummy honey soy chicken on rice with a side of garlic green beans. This meal is perfect for a quick lunch with only a few ingredients.

What You'll Need:

- boneless and skinless chicken fillets

- rice

- green beans

- garlic

- salt & pepper

- oyster sauce

- dark soy sauce

- honey

- olive oil or vegetable oil

How to do it:

1. Start by cooking your rice. This shouldn't take very long so you can start prepping your green beans if they are not trimmed yet.

2. Once the rice is cooked you can go ahead and place your green beans in a pan covered with water. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and let the water simmer for about 5 mins until the beans start to soften.

3. Meanwhile, you're going to prepare your chicken. Start by cutting your fillets in small dices and season with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of oyster sauce, a tablespoon of dark soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of honey. If you do not have any honey, you can add a spoon full of sugar. Mix together until every piece of chicken is covered.

4. Drain the water from the green beans and leave it aside. Meanwhile add olive oil to a skillet. Throw your chicken in and fry for about 5 mins. Make sure to keep stirring the chicken until caramelised.

5. Fry your green beans with garlic and butter for about 3 mins and season with salt. Finally, place the chicken and the green beans on your bed of rice. You can top your chicken with sesame seeds.

Enjoy!

Berry Granola Yogurt Bowl

Hello and Happy April! I know i'm a few days late but I hope you all had a lovely Easter.

Today I bring to you another easy recipe which involves yet again mixed berries. I love berries. This is really super simple, I don't really need to tell you how to make it but i'm going to anyway. This yogurt bowl is perfect for breakfast, a great alternative to the smoothie or açai bowl and is also a great and healthy idea for when you don't have much time. I must say that I have never been a huge yogurt fan but this, this is something else.

What You'll Need:

- yogurt (I chose a Greek style vanilla bio live yogurt)

- a handful of blackberries

- a handful of raspberries

- a handful of frozen mixed berries

- half a banana

- 1/2 cup of granola (I used Jordans super fruity granola)

How To Do It:

 In a bowl, pour in your yogurt and top it with the granola and your mixed berries and bananas. You could also drizzle some honey over the yogurt although I preferred not to as the yogurt and fruits were already sweet. And that's all there is to it!

Enjoy!
