Chicken Salsa Rice
by Pip Payne
A lovely, easy one-pot rice dish that makes an easy family-friendly meal. As I make this for my chilli-averse children, I don’t add any spice while I’m cooking it, but scatter on some jalapeños or add a squeeze of chilli sauce to my portion at the table.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Spray a sauté pan (for which you have a lid) with oil and fry the spring onions and whole chicken breasts for 3 minutes, turning the breasts a couple of times to lightly brown each side.
Step 2
Pour the hot stock into the pan, bring to a simmer and add all the other ingredients except for the lime wedges and the chopped parsley, these are for garnish.
Step 3
Simmer for 20 minutes, turning the chicken breasts over after 10 minutes.
Step 4
After 20 minutes, check the chicken is cooked through (see tips), and that the rice is just tender. Remove from the heat, place a lid on and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breasts and finely slice them, then stir back into the rice. Serve with lime wedges and parsley.
