Spicy Chutney Chicken With Mixed Rice

Recipe type: chicken
Ingredients:
Mixed Rice
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 large red capsicum
  • 100 grams pine nuts
Spicy Chutney Chicken
  • 750 grams chicken breast fillets (this is usually about 3 breasts)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 120mls chutney
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
Method:
  1. The chicken cooks quite quickly, so I like to get the ingredients ready for the mixed rice first.
  2. Begin cooking rice via your preferred method.
  3. Seed and quarter the capsicum and place on a lined tray.
  4. Place under a hot grill and allow the skin to blacken.
  5. Once the capsicum skin is well cooked, remove from the tray and place into a plastic bag and tie a knot in the end of the bag. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes. This makes it easier to peel the skin away.
  6. On a clean lined tray, spread the pine nuts and place under the grill so they are slightly coloured all over. (You need to keep a close eye on these as I have been distracted before and ended up with very black pine nuts.) Set aside until rice is cooked.
  7. Open the bag with the capsicum in it and peel off the skin. Then slice into strips about 0.5cm by 1.5cm. Set aside.
  8. I have issues with chicken being undercooked, so when I cook this dish, I actually slice the chicken in half width ways. This gives me thin slices of chicken that cook quickly (with very little chance of pink in the middle!).
  9. Make shallow cuts at 1cm intervals into the thin chicken breasts. This allows for the sauce to stick into the chicken.
  10. Combine chutney and spices.
  11. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Cook chicken until browned both sides.
  12. Add the combined chutney and spices, stirring until the sauce is heated through.
  13. Add to cooked rice, the capsicum and pine nuts, mixing well.
  14. Serve a generous helping of rice on each plate and then place chicken on top, adding remaining sauce as desired.
