In: Meals


Makes/Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 Shallot
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • 100 g White Rice
  • 150 ml Vegetable Stock
  • 1 tin Chopped Tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Pesto
  • 7 Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Method

  1. Chop up the shallot and fry in the oil.
  2. Meanwhile, rinse the rice, cut up the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and measure out the other ingredients ready.
  3. Cut up the chicken breast into about 8 pieces and add to the pan to sear it.
  4. Add the rice and fry this for a couple of mins.
  5. Add the stock, can of tomatoes, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and some salt and pepper and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Put the lid on and simmer on low until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally so that it doesn't burn on the bottom. It will take about 25 mins.

For some interesting variation swap a quarter of the white rice for wild rice or red Camargue rice - or Waitrose do a nice mixture which works well in this recipe.
