Recipe type: chicken
Ingredients:
  • 200g (1 cup) basmati rice
  • 1 onion
  • 1 red capsicum
  • 210 grams zucchini
  • 60g butter
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1 tsp dried coriander leaves
  • 500g chicken breast
  • 1½ cups chicken stock
  • 100g feta
Method:
  1. Chop chicken, capsicum, zucchini and onion into small pieces.
  2. Rinse rice under running water and set aside.
  3. In a large frying pan add butter and melt on a medium heat. Add onion and cook for a couple of minutes until the onion is soft.
  4. Stir in the garlic, tumeric, mixed spice and coriander and cook for a minute.
  5. Add the chicken, rice, capsicum and zucchini and give a quick stir so it is well combined.
  6. Add the stock, bring to the boil and then cover. Cook for 15 minutes on a low heat - making sure all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat when this has happened and leave to stand as is for 5 minutes. This makes sure the rice is fully cooked.
  7. Sprinkle the feta over the pilaf.
  8. Serve and enjoy! There was not left overs from this meal for our family of seven.
