Method

  1. Put the rice into a saucepan, cover with water, crumble in the stock cube, then bring to the boil. Stir the rice once, then simmer for about 20 mins until tender. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, toss the chicken in the spices and coriander. Heat a pan, add the oil, tip in the peppers, then stir-fry for 3 mins until starting to soften. Add the chicken, then fry until golden, about 5 mins. Add the rice, beans and spring onions, then warm through.

Tip

Mixed basmati and wild rice is available in most supermarkets. We used Tilda Basmati & Wild Rice.

    This was delicious and bursting with flavours that you could enjoy hot or cold. I added a tin of chopped tomatoes like NicolaJane recommended. Perfection!!

    I tried this the other night absolutely delicious and as suggested I added some chopped tomatoes as I think it would have been a bit dry without it, very easy mid-week meal.

    Really like it, added mushrooms and cherry tomatoes instead of the tinned but very good, looking forward to trying the left overs in tacos.

    I made this last night and added tinned tomatoes as suggested. This was a great quick and easy meal and I would certainly make again.

    I literally just made this. I added mushrooms and a tin of tomatoes as per the suggestions above. What a corker of a recipe! Wonderful flavour, textures, and colours. And dead simple to make. Delicious!

    I made this for me & my partner - was lovely - so simple to make - I added a tin of chopped tomatoes & as I couldn't find chilli flakes, I used 2 tsps of paprika - was lovely.

    Don't put tomatoes in to this, it really doesn't need them. I've made this 3 or 4 times now, and on the last two occasions added two handfuls of sultanas - it works!

    This dish is very filling, I personally don't think it needs any extra ingredients. It takes quite a long time to prepare it, i.e. chop up everything, but it is definitely worth the effort.

    I found this recipe very bland! I added ground coriander, paprika, a sliced onion, garlic some balsamic vinegar and some tomato puree and I still didn't find this spicy in the slightest. I had to spoon over some Discovery Chipotle chilli sauce in the end. I don't think I will be making this again!
