Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Peel and dice your brown onion[s]
Chop your chicken breast strips into bite-sized pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the diced onion, your curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper
Cook for 2 min or until starting to soften
Meanwhile, trim, then chop your green beans in half
Add the chopped chicken breast strips to the pan and cook for 2 min
Tip: Add a drizzle more oil if the pan looks a little dry
Sprinkle your chicken stock mix into the pan and add your tomato paste
Cook for a further 2 min or until the chicken is starting to brown
Stir in your basmati rice
Add 300ml [390ml] [600ml] cold water to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Add the halved green beans and sultanas
Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until the water has absorbed and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Tip: Add a splash of water if the rice is not fully cooked or the mixture is looking a little dry
Once done, fluff the rice with a fork
Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed – this is your easy chicken biryani
