Chicken and Broccoli with lime and ginger


Hello Dear Reader,

Simple supper tonight, well you would think. I eat gluten free noodles, which are just too expensive as far as I’m concerned and DB has the regular cheap ones. In American you call them Ramen noodles, here they are just the ones for 19p a pack, they have a flavour sachet that I don’t use and he doesn’t seem to mind them at all. Any way, that means I have to cook two lots of noodles!

To make this you will need

A chicken breast per person , finely sliced.
thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely diced
three garlic cloves, finely diced
zest and juice of two limes.
60ml of runny honey.

Dry fry the chicken - brown it on both sides.

Steam the broccoli, I used frozen and it was fine, then chop it into smaller pieces and add to the chicken.

Cook the noodles. So simple, his get dropped into boiling water for 3 minutes and mine come out of a pack and get warmed up. I just mustn’t muddle them or I will be in belly ache hell and toilet central for hours!

Then, add the lime, ginger, garlic, honey and warm through. Be careful not to catch it as it burns easily. Just heat it through. Drain the noodles and toss the noodles, sauce, chicken and broccoli together.

I like the slurpy sauciness of this and kept rolling my chicken and noodles in the sauce. I didn’t add any cornflour and purposefully didn’t thicken it.


Until tomorrow,

Love Froogs xxxx

  1. I wonder if you have easy access to rice noodles? I tend to use those because they are egg free which I need. They are very easy for me to buy as we have a huge oriental population in our area.

  2. Are GF foods no longer available on prescription? My daughter used to receive a large variety of different staples - bread, pasta, rolls, flour etc. after her diagnosis of coeliac disease.

  3. Just like Suze, I too would suggest looking for etnic shops that stock cheap rice noodles as well as glass noodles, buckwheat noodles, rice flour and so many other cheap naturally GF foods!! Your dinner looks delicious.
