Hot honey & lime chicken bowl
This chicken recipe is fabulous for so many reasons; the chicken and marinade are super quick and easy to make and you prepare as much of this as you like for dinner and cook extra for a couple of lunches. It can be eaten hot with fluffy rice, sweetcorn, a little mango avocado salsa or cold with green leaves and colourful chopped veggies or crudités. My son also pointed out he would serve it in a wrap with guacamole, salad, tomatoes and red onions! You’ve got to try it!
