Quick and flavorful one-pot meal with basmati rice and tender chicken breasts. Vegetarian twist: swap chicken for halved swiss brown mushrooms and vegetable stock.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 2 (about 500g) chicken breast fillets, cut into 2.5cm pieces
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g (1 cup) basmati rice
  • 5.00 gm sweet paprika
  • 625ml (2 1/2 cups) chicken stock
  • 21.00 gm soy sauce
  • 230g (1 1/2 cups) frozen pea, corn and carrot vegetable mix, thawed
  • 3 green shallots, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan until shimmering. Cook chicken over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Combine capsicum, onion, and garlic in the pan and cook while stirring for 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the rice and paprika for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the stock and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the stock is absorbed, and the rice is tender.
  • Mix in the chicken along with the pea, corn, and carrot blend. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes or until the chicken and vegetables are heated through. Gently fold in half of the shallot. Sprinkle the remaining shallot over the top before serving.
