Sticky Five Spice Chicken with Brown Basmati Rice & Stir-fried Veg
This rice bowl pulls all the stops. Think tender British free-range chicken breast, coated in a sticky five spice, ginger and chilli marinade, then roasted to perfection. A medley of vibrant veggies (leafy pak choi, crunchy peppers and sweet onion), stir-fried until fragrant. Fluffy brown rice, to soak up all the flavours. It's a real winner!
Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a grater
Boil the rice
- Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
Make the marinade
- Finely chop or grate the garlic. Zest and halve the lime
- In the small bowl combine the five spice (use less for a milder flavour), ginger paste, fresh garlic, honey, chilli paste (use less for less heat) and the zest and juice from the lime. Mix well and season with salt and pepper
Fry & bake
- Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins per side. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the lined baking tray and bake for 9 mins
- After 9 mins, coat the chicken in the marinade and return to the oven for a final 5 mins, until cooked through
Stir-fry the veg
- Thinly slice the peppers. Peel the onion and cut into 1cm wedges. Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces
- Reheat the medium frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
- Add the pak choi and cook for a further 2-3 mins, until softened
Plate up
- Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
- Thinly slice the chicken against the grain
- Serve the five spice chicken into bowls, with the rice and stri-fried veg alongside. Drizzle any remaining cooking juices from the tray over the chicken
