Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tbsp garlic infused extra virgin olive oil
- 1 capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 brown onion, finely chopped
- 250 g chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 1/2 tbsp Portuguese chicken seasoning
- 250 g cooked brown rice (heat and serve packet)
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 400 g diced tomatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Heat a large fry pan on a medium/high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the capsicum and onion and saute for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the chicken and sprinkle with Portuguese seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken pieces are cooked.
- Add the rice, sweet chili sauce, worcestershire sauce and diced tomatoes. Stir thoroughly and cook for a further 2 minutes. Then add the peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can cook this further 5 or so minutes if you want to get the rice a bit more crispy on the bottom.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option: Use firm marinated tofu or your favourite plant based meat substitute here instead of chicken.
- If cooking for kids who are sensitive to spice, use a lemon, herb & garlic seasoning, mild paprika or chicken seasoning without spice.
- You can cook this a bit longer in the pan so the rice starts to brown and get a little crispy.
- This dish will freeze well for up to 3 months.
