Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan, skin side up. Rub the tops with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 minutes, until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin and bones. Shred the chicken in large bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately immerse in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Drain and set aside.
- Place the garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, tahini, peanut butter, soy sauce, sherry, sherry vinegar, honey, chili oil, sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the cayenne pepper in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and puree until smooth. Set aside.
- Add a splash of olive oil to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook the spaghetti according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta in a colander, place it in a large bowl, and while still warm, toss with the sauce. Add the scallions, peppers, chicken and broccoli and toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature.
EASY SZECHUAN CHICKEN WITH NOODLES
Hot and spicy, and full of flavour. This easy Szechuan Chicken recipe is my take on the classic Szechuan Chicken from the Sichuan Province of China. I've adapted it to suit my own taste (and pantry ingredients), and what it lacks in authenticity, it certainly makes up for in taste.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces
- Whisk the soy sauce, cornflour and salt in a bowl to remove any lumps.
- Add the chicken and mix to coat thoroughly. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes to marinate.
- Once marinated, drain the chicken through a colander, reserving the marinade. This will be used to thicken the sauce later.
- Place all the ingredients for the batter in a mixing bowl and whisk to remove any lumps
- Heat the oil in a frying pan
- Dip pieces of chicken into the batter and then place immediately into the hot oil. Fry until brown all over and there is no pink showing when a piece is cut in half. The internal temperature should be 74°C/165°F (see notes)
- Drain the fried chicken pieces on kitchen paper towel and set aside.
- Peel, shred and slice the vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely; quarter the button mushrooms. Try to keep the vegetables to a consistent size so they all cook at the same time.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients (with the exception of the cornflour) in a wok or large frying pan.
- Add the chopped vegetables and stir well to coat with the sauce.
- Stirfry over a medium heat for 2 minutes until the vegetables are warmed through, then add the stock and bring to the boil.
- Cover with a lid, turn the heat down to a simmer and leave for 10 to 15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked. Don't allow them to overcook and become mushy; the vegetables should still be al dente.
- Taste the sauce for flavour and seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- Add the leftover marinade, bring to the boil and allow to thicken. If there isn't enough marinade left to thicken the sauce, just mix 2 teaspoons of cornflour/cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and drizzle in slowly, stirring all the while, until the desired consistency is reached. The sauce should be the consistency of thick cream (or thick gravy).
- Now add the cooked chicken back to the pan, mix through and heat until the chicken is hot.
- Serve on a bed of noodles or white rice.
