Instructions
To begin, prepare the ingredients. Thickly slice the onions, crush the garlic cloves, drain the jar of pepper and cut into wide long strips.
Cut chicken breasts into diagonal thin strips, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken strips into a bowl with the runny honey to fully coat them.
Heat a frying pan over a high heat on the stove and then add the two tablespoons of oil and the chicken strips.
Cook for around eight to 10 minutes until golden all over and cooked through. You may need to cook the chicken in two batches to not overcrowd the pan. Once cooked, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and then set aside to rest on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium-high and add the onions to the pan. Cook for two to three minutes until they have softened, and then add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
To make the sauce, measure all the sauce ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour the sauce into the pan with onion and garlic and then add the jar of pepper slices.
Return the chicken to the pan and cover it with a lid and bring the mixture to a boil, Reduce the heat and then simmer for around five minutes until tender.
Your tasty chicken one-pot is now ready to serve. Mary Berry highly recommends serving with mashed potatoes and your favourite green vegetable.
