Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Sunflower oil
- 600 g Skinless, boneless Chicken breast Chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tsp Peri peri seasoning
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 Red onion Peeled and chopped

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken breast pieces and cook for 5 minutes until starting to brown all over.
- Add the per peri seasoning, garlic and onion and fry for another 3-5 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
- Add the peppers, stock, tomato purée, rice and plenty of salt and pepper. Put the lid on the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes.
- When the rice is nearly cooked and the stock is almost absorbed, add the peas. Put the lid back on and cook for a further 5 minutes, until everything is cooked through.
Notes
Peri peri seasoning: You can add more if you prefer a spicier meal, I used 4 tsp
Vegetarian: You can make this a veggie dish by swapping the chicken for fried halloumi cubes instead - yum!
Vegetables: You can mix and match your veggies to taste or to use whatever you have left in your fridge that needs using up. More vegetables will also make it go further.
Spring onions: I garnish the dish with these but you don’t have to (they do bring something though!)
Stock: Make a little extra stock up to add in if you need it. Sometimes cooking times vary and the rice can absorb all the water before it’s properly cooked. Keep an eye on it and don’t let it dry out
