Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast chopped into 2cm chunks
- 1 onion peeled and chopped
- 1 chicken stock cube made up with 500ml boiling water
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 125 ml no added sugar, concentrated lemon squash
- 3/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 lemon sliced
- granulated sweetener or sugar to taste if required
- 1/2 fresh pineapple cut into chunks
- 1/2 chilli chopped (optional)
- low calorie cooking spray
Instructions
-
Spray the frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and cook the onions, chilli and chicken on a medium heat.
-
When the onion has softened and the chicken has browned slightly, remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Add the stock, onion powder and no added sugar lemon squash to the pan and bring to the boil.
-
Allow to simmer for a few minutes. Place half of the sauce into a jug and whisk in the xanthan gum a 1/4 of a tsp at a time. You will need to whisk well - and keep whisking!
-
When the right consistency is achieved, return the sauce to the pan and add the chicken.
-
Add the lemon slices and cook gently for another 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the pineapple and remove from the heat immediately.
-
Taste, and add a little granulated sweetener if it's a bit too sour.
-
Serve with your choice of accompaniment.
