Lightly spiced grilled chicken, vibrant veggie packed rice with some cooling yoghurt and mint. A cracker of a weeknight dinner and kid-friendly. We've left the skin on our chicken for juiciness but if you prefer it without, then by all means just remove and discard the skin.

First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Pot
Frypan
Rice Cooker (Optional)

1 Marinate Chicken

In a bowl combine the chicken thighs, half the lemon juice, brown sugar and Portuguese seasoning (red coloured spice packet) and a drizzle of oil. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.

2 Cook Rice

Dice onion and capsicum. Rinse the rice under cold water. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Fry the onions for 2-3 minutes until translucent . Add the coriander/cumin/turmeric spice mix and the rice and cook for a further minute. Add 1 ¹⁄₂ cups of water, diced capsicum and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender.

Tip! You may not need all the onion.

3 Cook Chicken

Heat a pan over medium high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Seal the chicken on each side for 2 minutes or until caramelised, lower the temp and cook for a further 5-7 minutes, turning often until cooked through.

4 Finish Rice

Add the sweetcorn and peas to the rice and cook for a further minute. Fluff the rice, adding a drizzle of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

5 You Plate It

On a platter or serving plates, serve the rice, topped with the chicken. Dollop over yoghurt and pick mint leaves, tear or roughly chop them and add to the finished dish.
