Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 min or until it's tender with a slight bite, then once cooked, drain and return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Step 1
2.

Whilst the rice is cooking, cut a slice of lemon per person

Add your free range chicken breast portion[s] to a tin foil-lined baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt

Top each piece of chicken with a lemon slice and put the tray in the oven for 15 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 2
3.

Boil half a kettle

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Step 3
4.

Dissolve your cornflour in 150ml [195ml] [275ml] boiled water

Add your chicken stock mix, soy sauce and honey and whisk until smooth

Squeeze in the juice of the remaining lemon[s] – this is your lemon stock

Step 4
5.

Add your shredded kale to a large baking tray (or two!) with a pinch of salt, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a drizzle of vegetable oil

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 10-12 min or until crispy – this is your crispy kale

Step 5
6.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the chopped garlic and chopped ginger with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until softened

Once softened, add the lemon stock and cook for 5-6 min or until thickened

Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir through your toasted sesame oil – this is your lemon & ginger sauce

Step 6
7.

Once done, transfer the chicken to a clean board

Slice the cooked free range chicken (you can add the lemon slices to your sauce!)

Step 7
8.

Serve the sliced free range chicken over the brown rice with the crispy kale to the side

Drizzle over the lemon & ginger sauce and garnish with your toasted sesame seeds

Enjoy!
