Soy chicken with the classic recipe

For this recipe you will need the following ingredients.

• 500 g of chicken.
• 60ml of soy sauce.
• 30 g of acacia honey.

1. To prepare this quick and easy recipe, you can choose whether to start with the whole breast and cut it yourself, or for a quicker solution, you can buy the chicken nuggets already cut.
2. Start the marinade. In a bowl put the soy sauce, the honey (we recommend the acacia one as it does not have a strong taste that could cover the other flavours) and the chicken. Marinate for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
3. After that, take a non-stick pan and pour a drizzle of oil. Pour the marinated chicken and soy-honey dressing into the pan.
4. Cook for 10 minutes , until the liquid has dried and the chicken has become caramelized. If your sauce is consumed before 10 minutes, add a little more soy sauce.
