Fakeaways can be a fantastic solution for those looking to maintain their fitness and weight loss goals without sacrificing flavour.

Instagram user @panaceapalm has shared a recipe for a "most delicious" fakeaway that is not only "high in protein" but also low in calories, making it perfect for meal prepping.

The Korean popcorn chicken with sweet and sticky rice serves four portions and can be stored in the fridge or freezer for future meals. Not only does it look mouth-wateringly good, but it's also "less than 500 calories", clocking in at 495, and packs a whopping "50g of protein".

To make this dish, you'll need 800g of chicken breast, diced into cubes. Season the raw chicken with black pepper, soy sauce, and one egg, then mix thoroughly until fully coated.

Next, place 40g of cornflour in a container and add your seasoned chicken. "Seal the lid and shake well until the chicken is fully coated", as per the video's instructions.

Then arrange the chicken on a rack, spray with oil, and either bake or air fry. If baking, set your oven to 210 degrees and cook for 10-14 minutes.

If using an air fryer, set it to 200 degrees and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. The result should be deliciously crispy chicken.

For the Korean glaze, combine 60ml soy sauce, 80ml water, two tablespoons of low-calorie ketchup, three tablespoons of gochujang paste, two tablespoons of rice vinegar, two tablespoons of honey, and 30g of brown stevia.

The clip instructs: "Stir until it thickens, then add your crispy popcorn chicken, toss it together to fully coat, then divide it up into four equal servings".

Since being posted, the clip has amassed more than 1.2 million likes, with viewers eager to try out the recipe. Commenters have suggested swapping the rice for "cauliflower rice" as a healthier alternative.

The excitement is palpable among food enthusiasts, with one commenting: "Making this. Just bought everything today." Another shared their anticipation: "I'm actually gonna try this."

Meanwhile, a third satisfied home chef remarked: "Just made this tonight... was pretty good! ".
