Instructions
1
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Place a pot over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
- When hot, add half the garlic and fry for 1 min. Stir in the rice and 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p). Bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover.
- Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat. Keep covered for another 10 mins (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Halve and deseed the pepper. Slice into thin strips.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the chicken and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from the chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
3
- Add the Central American spice and remaining garlic to the pan. Fry for 30 secs.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes, stock powder and ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p). Stir to combine.
- Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Stir through a knob of butter.
- Add a splash of water if the sauce is too dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Spoon the chicken stew over the top.
- Finish with a dollop of creme fraiche.
