Ingredients

2 Onions, thinly sliced

1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

1 tsp Cook by Asda Ground Cinnamon, plus 2 pinches

1½ tsp Cook by Asda Jerk Seasoning

500g Just Essentials by Asda Cherry Tomatoes

100g Just Essentials by Asda Spaghetti, snapped into small pieces

175g Just Essentials by Asda Long Grain Rice

390g tin Asda Green Lentils in Water, drained and rinsed

450g Asda Roast Chicken Drumsticks, meat shredded from the skin and bones

15g Mild & Peppery Flat Leaf Parsley, leaves roughly chopped

15g Asda Aromatic & Zesty Coriander, leaves roughly chopped

Method

Put the onions, oil and ¼ tsp salt into a lidded frying pan. Fry over a medium heat, with the lid on, for 20 mins until golden brown and soft. Remove the lid and stir in the cinnamon and jerk seasoning, cooking for 2 mins.

Meanwhile, heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Halve about a ? of the cherry tomatoes and put into a small tin with 2 pinches of cinnamon, some salt and pepper and about 125ml of water. Roast for 15–20 mins until bursting and juicy, adding a splash more water if they look dry.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. When the water is boiling, add the spaghetti pieces and rice, and cook for 10–12 mins. Drain well and stir into the onion pan to soak up all of the spiced oil.

Transfer the oniony rice to a mixing bowl and stir in the lentils, followed by the chicken chunks and herbs.

Divide chicken and lentils between plates, spoon over the roasted tomatoes plus any juices, and serve.
