Honey Chicken with Vegtables & Rice

This is a great dish to offer children, who don't notice the vegetables as much because of the sweet chicken.

This dish can be easily spiced up with the addition of chilli or coriander, and of course you can use brown rice instead of jasmine rice to make it even healthier than it already is.
