Pot with Lid

Instructions

Make the Rice
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • 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 with the lid and cook for 12 mins. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Keep covered for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Roast Until Golden
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into eight wedges.
  • Trim the tip of the broccoli. Cut head into small florets and stem into 2cm pieces.
  • Pop the broccoli and onion onto a lined baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the edges are crispy and slightly charred, 10-15 mins.
Toast the Seeds
3
  • Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, add the sesame seeds and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins.
  • Once toasted, transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.

Prep the Chicken
4
  • Lay the chicken out on a board and place your hand flat on top. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
  • Slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
  • Repeat with the other breast(s).

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Cook the Chicken
5
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook through, 3-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add hoisin, lemongrass paste and 75ml water (double for 4p).
  • Lower heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 mins. 
  • Add a knob of butter. Use a spoon to baste the chicken in the sauce.

TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if needed!

Finish and Serve
6
  • When everything is ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between plates.
  • Top with the roast veg, glazed chicken and buttery hoisin sauce.
  • Drizzle with sweet chilli sauce.
  • Scatter over the toasted sesame seeds to finish.
