Who else gets a hankering for a takeaway near the end of the week? I’m sure it’s not just us, right? But I usually always regret the feeling after having a takeaway… that heaviness and sometimes nausea from eating too much greasy food. So this is my perfect solution – my honey garlic chicken fakeaway! It always hits the spot, and it comes together in a jiffy!
