Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet.
Step 2
In a small bowl combine the cornflour and water and mix until smooth. Add the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, garlic and ginger.
Step 3
Grease a large non-stick fry pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until the onion begins to soften.
Step 4
Add the chicken and carrot and cook stirring until chicken is almost cooked.

Add the sauce and broccoli to the chicken. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, approximately 2-4 minutes.

Food safety tip: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, chicken and rice needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
