One-pot meal with protein, veggies, and carbs. A delicious and complete dinner in one dish!
Ingredients:
  • 500g chicken thigh fillets, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 200g Swiss brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock
  • 1/2 cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 x 250g pkts microwave Ben’s Original Brown, Red & Wild Rice medley
  • 60g (2 cups) chopped kale
  • 120g (3/4 cup) frozen peas
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated, cut into wedges
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Cook half of the chicken, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes until it turns golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Sauté onions until slightly softened for about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, cook until mushrooms soften, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes. Pour in stock, then add cauliflower and chicken. Simmer covered for 7 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
  • Combine the rice, kale, peas, and lemon rind with the mushroom mixture in the pan. Cook covered for 3 minutes or until the kale wilts and the rice and peas are hot. Season to taste and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
