Cooking instructions

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

1.

Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2.

Boil half a kettle

Add your chicken breast portion[s] to a chopping board, cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin until flattened to approx. 1cm thickness

Step 2
3.

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

Once hot, add the flattened chicken to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!)
