Try our Spicy Chicken with Currant and Almond Pilaf for an easy and flavorful weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tsp garam masala (see note)
  • 1 tsp ground fennel
  • 4 (200g each) Cornfed chicken breast fillets, thickly sliced
  • 30g butter
  • 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
  • 300.00 gm white Basmati rice
  • 255.00 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 62.50 ml currants
  • 125.00 ml chopped dried apricots
  • 125.00 ml slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in rice, stock, and 1 cup of cold water. Cover, bring to a boil, then simmer on medium-low for 12 minutes until rice absorbs the liquid. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and mix in currants, apricots, and almonds.
  • In a shallow glass or ceramic bowl, mix oil, garam masala, and fennel. Add chicken and coat evenly.
  • Preheat a frying pan over medium heat until hot. Sear the chicken for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove to a plate and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve the chicken over a bed of pilaf.
