Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small jug or bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, chicken stock, and soy sauce until well combined; set this sauce mixture aside.

Place the chicken chunks in a bowl and toss with cornflour until every piece is evenly coated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until it changes color and becomes golden and crisp at the edges.

Add the sliced carrots and red pepper chunks to the pan and stir-fry for another minute.

Pour the prepared lemon sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer. Add the sugar snap peas and cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and bubble until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Serve hot over a bed of noodles or steamed jasmine rice.
