Tip

Tip
Using fresh or dried herbs and spices is a fast, easy way to improve the flavour of a dish, without adding any extra fat or salt.

Method

  1. Heat a frying pan or flameproof casserole, then brown the chicken, skin-side down. Tip in the curry powder and rice, fry for 1 min, then stir in the stock.

  2. Add the cauliflower, beans, lemon slices and coriander stalks to the pan and turn the chicken skin-side up. Bring to the boil, then simmer with the lid on for 10 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice tender. Sprinkle over the coriander leaves and serve.
