• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

3. Leave to marinate for at least an hour, mixing occasionally.

5. Preheat a non-stick wok or frying pan and dry-fry the chicken over a high heat for 5-6 minutes, turning it to seal all sides.
