ONE POT CHINESE CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Mix Sauce in a large bowl. Add chicken and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes to overnight.
• Cut Chinese broccoli stems cut into 2.5 cm/1" pieces, leafy part 5cm/2.5cm pieces.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess marinade - RESERVE marinade!
• Cook both sides until golden - about 90 seconds on each side, don't let them burn! Remove chicken onto plate.
• Add a touch of oil if pot is dry. Add onion, garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes until tinged with gold.
• Add rice, stir to coat grains in oil. Add broth, reserved Marinade and Chinese broccoli stems. Stir.
• Place chicken across the top, pour in juices pooled on plate. Cover, bring to simmer then lower heat to medium.
• Cook for 12 -15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check).
• Remove from heat. Working quickly, scatter Chinese broccoli leaves across surface, clamp lid back on.
• Rest for 10 minutes. Remove lid, toss rice and serve, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. A dollop of your favourite chilli paste wouldn't go astray either!

• Heat the oil in a a large casserole dish (that has a lid) over a medium heat, then fry the onion, garlic and ginger until brown and fragrant, about 10 mins. Stir in the curry paste, turmeric, cardamom and cinnamon, and stir for a few minutes. Add the chicken and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring to colour on all sides.
• Add the rice, stir well, then stir in the stock, coconut milk, a generous pinch of seasoning, the veg and raisins. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, pop the lid on and cook for about 25-30 mins until the water has been absorbed, the chicken and rice are cooked through, and the veg is tender. Season to taste. Remove the cardamom and cinnamon stick, then scatter over the almonds and coriander. Serve with yogurt and mango chutney on the side.
