Speedy One Pot Chinese Chicken

Speedy one pot chinese chicken

Easy and low stress meals are so good right now, and this one is a winner!!

Ready in 20 mins. You could easily make this vegetarian by using veg stock, leaving out the chicken and adding stir fried tofu or tempeh.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups chicken stock, salt reduced

• 2-3 slices of fresh ginger

• 3 cloves garlic, sliced

• 3/4 cup rice (I used SunRice low GI)

• Sliced chilli or chilli flakes to taste

• 1 tray boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed off, each chopped into 4-6 pieces

• 1 head of broccoli, chopped into florets

• 1.5 cups frozen peas

How to make:

1. Heat stock in a non stick pan and add ginger, garlic and chilli.

2. Add rice and chicken thighs, stir then cook for 10 minutes over a low heat.

3. Add broccoli and peas, cook for about 5-8 mins until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add a splash of extra water if needed. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally so the bottom doesn’t burn.

4. Remove the chunks of ginger and discard.

5. Serve with a splash of reduced salt soy sauce and maybe a squeeze of hot chilli sauce too!

Vegetarian? No worries! Use vegetable stock, leave out the chicken and serve with pan fried tofu or tempeh.

Broccoli not in season? You can use any green veggies you like, or frozen veg is a great option too!
