Ingredients
* 4 chicken breast fillets
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/2 cup caster sugar
* 1/2 cup chicken stock
* 1/4 cup white vinegar
* 2 lemons, sliced
* 2 limes, sliced
* 2 star anise
* 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
* fresh coriander leaves, to serve
Method
1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook 2 chicken breast fillets for 3 to 4 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to baking tray. Place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken. Wipe frying pan clean.
3. Place sugar in frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook, tilting the pan back and forth occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until sugar dissolves and turns golden. Remove from heat. Stand for 1 minute. Add stock, vinegar, lemon and lime slices, star anise and chilli flakes (take care, mixture might spatter). Return to heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until mixture reduces by half. Discard star anise.
4. Slice chicken and place on serving plates. Spoon over sauce. Top with coriander and serve.
