Utensils
•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove from the heat.
- Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, clean the mushrooms with kitchen paper and roughly chop.
- Remove the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the mushrooms and leek, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
- Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Give the pan a quick wipe then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary).
4
- Once the pan is hot, add the chicken.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!
5
- Add the mushrooms, leek, oregano, stock and creme fraiche to the pan.
- Cook, stirring until the sauce has reduced slightly, 3-4 mins.
- Stir through the mustard and Worcester sauce.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce is too thick.
6
- Fluff up the rice with a fork divide between plates.
- Place the chicken and creamy mushroom sauce on top.
