Stir fries don't have to be Asian inspired, and this Mexican style 5:2 Diet Fast Day recipe is packed full of flavour, as well as being healthy and containing some of your five-a-day in one filling dish. Sainsburys spicy chipotle chilli paste adds a smoky heat to the chicken, and no other seasoning is needed when this is served with a big bowl of stir fry vegetables with edamame beans; if you are using a normal stir fry vegetable mix with NO edamame beans, the calorie count will be much lower - 150g of stir fry vegetables added in place of the edamame beans stir fry mix, will be 180 calories a portion, instead of 234 calories per portion when using 100g of edamame bean stir fry vegetable mix - the choice is yours!

Ingredients

  • Sainsbury's - Spicy Chipotle Chilli Paste, 15 g (14 calories)
  • Edamame Bean Vegtable Stir Fry, 100 g (129 calories)
  • Fry Light - Sunflower Oil Spray*, 4 spray (4 calories)
  • Chicken Breast Fillets Skinless & Boneless, 75 g (87 calories)

Optional

  • 150g vegetable stir fry mix (in place of Edamame Bean Vegtable Stir Fry, 75 calories )

Directions

Step 1 Cut the chicken breast into strips and add the spicy chipotle chilli paste, using your hands mix it in well to make sure all the chicken strips are covered in the paste. Set aside for 1 hour to marinade.
Step 2 When you are ready to cook, heat up a wok and then add 2 sprays of oil, add the chicken and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring all the time until the chicken is cooked. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
Step 3 Add 2 more sprays of oil to the wok and add the Edamame Bean Vegtable Stir Fry mix, stirring all the time, cook it over a medium to high heat until it is cooked, but still crunchy, then add the chicken and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, stirring all the time.
Step 4 Serve immediately and on non fast days, this is great when served with a tortilla wrap or pitta bread.
