Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
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 free range chicken breast portion[s] into bite-sized pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the diced onion, curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper
Cook for 2 min or until starting to soften
Meanwhile, trim and cut your green beans in half
Add the chopped chicken 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 350ml [460ml] [600ml] cold water to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Add the halved green beans and your sultanas
Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 13-15 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 free range chicken biryani
Serve the free range chicken biryani with a dollop of your natural yoghurt on top
Enjoy!
