Ingredients

380g Laila Basmati Rice

4 Skinless Chicken Breasts (600g)

3 tbsp KTC Sunflower Oil

1 Onion, finely chopped

105g Peas

115g Carrots

2 tbsp Butter

1 tsp Tumeric

2 tbsp Dunns River All-purpose Seasoning

1/2 tbsp Tropics Chicken Seasoning

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Ginger Powder

1 tsp Cinnamon Powder

20g Slivered or Sliced Almonds

34g Cashews or Pine Nuts

1L Chicken or Vegetable Stock

Method

Heat the oil in a pot, add finely chopped onions, and sauté.

Add chicken pieces, All-purpose seasoning, chicken seasoning, turmeric, ginger and garlic powder. Fry for 4-5 minutes until the colour changes.

Add carrots and peas. Mix it well and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Pour chicken/vegetable stock and bring it to boil.

Cover and cook until the chicken is almost tender.

Take out the chicken, place it on a baking tray, and broil for 15 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius or until it’s slightly golden brown.

Add 1 cup of boiling water if required to the pot (sometimes the water dries up quickly depending on the size of the pot).

Add rice, cinnamon powder, salt & pepper. Give it a stir and let it simmer on low to medium heat for about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked through and the water has evaporated. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and place the butter cube on top & let it melt.

In a separate pan, roast the almonds and cashews until golden brown.

Plate the rice and top it with the cooked chicken. Then, garnish with the toasted almonds & cashews.
