Recipe ; Chicken with soy sauce and chinese 5 spice

This is one of my favourite recipes, my signature dish ( the only dish haha !! )

It's Chicken with boiled rice and cashew nuts, with a Chinese 5 spice and soy sauce sauce, it's not spicy but it definitely gives it a kick, it's full of flavour !

You can cook it for date night, you can take it into work with you, or you can cook it for a nice dinner for one, perfectly accompanied with a glass of rose wine haha !

The recipe is below ! :) 



Ingredients
* Soy sauce
* Chinese 5 spice 
* Cashew nuts 
* Boiled rice ( I just use uncle Ben's long grain boiled rice ... takes 2 mins and it's lush ... easy :) )
* BBQ sauce
* Chicken Breast

Recipe

1. Dice the chicken into pieces
2. Put the chicken in the pan with some soy sauce ( so the pan doesn't burn and also gives it that nice flavour right away )
3. Keep stiring the chicken around to really coat the chicken in the soy sauce, then as the chicken is slowly cooking add in the Chinese 5 spice, shake it evenly over the chicken and continue to stir. Make sure the spices don't clump up.
4. Now it's time too add in the BBQ sauce, The soy sauce will have evaporated and we don't want the pan to burn. Don't put too much in, you just want a little dollop ( same as you'd put on your plate ) Keep stiring the chicken and the sauce together. Now would be a good time to put your rice in the microwave.
5. Once all the BBQ sauce has soaked into the chicken, add that bit more soy sauce to cool down the BBQ taste ( as that isn't meant to be the main taste it just gives it that kick !)
6. This is optional but I would add in that little bit more of Chinese 5 spice now, just a sprinkle
7. Add in the rice and cashew nuts, mix it all together and PHOWLA !!
8. Enjoy !!!! :)

Let me know what you think to this recipe, it's extremely quick and easy to make and tastes great !
