Method

Make it together.

  1. Chop onion and pepper and fry in a little olive oil over a medium heat until they soften for a few minutes.
  2. Add the spices and fry for a couple of minutes.
  3. Then add the chicken and fry until the chicken is cooked, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the rice and stir to coat.
  5. Then add the stock, mixed beans, peas, and sweet corn. Add about 2/3 of the stock and see how it cooks, adding more if required.
  6. Put the lid on and cook on a lower heat for twenty minutes, stirring halfway through. Add more stock if required halfway through.
  7. Check if the rice is cooked and give it a few minutes longer if needed.
  8. You can change the vegetables used to ones your kids like, e.g., courgette and mushrooms are good too.
