Notes

Rice cooking time can vary greatly. To guarantee your rice cooks in time we recommend soaking it for 1-6 hours before cooking. You could also use a pouch of pre-cooked rice and steam or blanch the greens to serve on the side.

Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the refrigerator before reheating. The rice and greens cannot be frozen.

Delicious. I used slightly less honey and added fresh coriander and chorizo in too.

Tracy Last month

So easy. So tasty. I used chicken breasts - pulled beautifully! Will DEF be making again!!

Emily Last month

Perfect family meal which you can scale up easily for more numbers. The sauce was rich and delicious, I might add fresh chilli and coriander on top of the sauce on serving next time. Lovely and versatile, we had with the rice but would work well with any side

Rachel Last month

Great family recipe. I think I’ll stick to 1 tbsp of honey next time as I found it very sweet. Very tasty though!

Really versatile recipe, we had it on the side with sweet potato Mac and cheese, and then the following night in a bun

Lovely ginger heat. I’m in Australia and used tomato paste instead of tomato purée

Delicious 😋

I’m so sorry but this was a huge disappointment. It was a very nice supper dish but nothing like I was expecting. I couldn’t taste honey or ginger at all. I followed the recipe exactly. It was more like a tomato chicken dish. I won’t make it again.

I’m a veggie but my non veggie son loved it!!

Remind people to use a large pot for the rice as they will be adding all of the vegetables into it.

Danielle 3 months ago

I think this would work really well with mushrooms instead of chicken and maybe adding cashews
