QUICK DELICIOUS MARCO POLO HONEY LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Put olive oil in a big pan, high heat. Brown the chicken 1-2 minutes each side.
• 2. Roughly chop veg. Put everything in. Put lid on.
• 3. Turn down heat to low-mid so it simmers steadily without boiling over. You can also use a pressure cooker or electric pan.
• 4. Cooking time depends on size of chicken. It's 30 minutes for the small chicken I use.
• 5. Serve with pasta of your choice. I tend to just throw in two small hands of fusilli in the last five minutes for quickness.
• 6. If you are feeling cheffy today, put some of the liquid and veg in a skillet, add some sour cream or double cream, and reduce over medium fire for a few minutes. 5 seconds of blending will make it smooth restaurant quality sauce.
