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!

Oh so glad to hear even your 3 year old likes it! Thanks for the feedback 🙂
I made this recipe last night for dinner. So delicious! It really tastes like a healthier version of takeout. There was enough sauce from the chicken that I was able to mix in my cooked rice so the flavor was incorporated into the plain white rice.
This recipe is also toddler approved!
