Honey Balsamic Chicken
By now, you’ve guessed (and rightly so) that I’m in love with my wok. Whenever my wok shows up, you just know it’s a quick meal. If you don’t have a wok yet, you’re missing out. Get one, fast!
The balsamic vinegar in this recipe offsets the honey perfectly. It prevents it from being a ‘sweet’ dish. It also enhances the flavour of the chili and cumin very well. To ensure the party in your mouth, please don’t use any other type of vinegar.

2 large chicken breasts, cubed
1 large spring onion, green and white parts separated
3 atarodo (habanero)
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of ground cumin

4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 stock cubes
1 tablespoon of paprika
