Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Halve snacking tomatoes. Trim and halve green beans. Thinly slice capsicum into strips. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook snacking tomatoes, green beans and capsicum, tossing, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• To pan, stir in basmati rice, chargrilled capsicums, chermoula spice blend, the salt, and the boiling water (13/4 cups for 2 people / 31/2 cups for 4 people). Stir to combine, then remove from heat. • Transfer veggie-rice mixture to a baking dish. Cover with foil, then bake for 20 minutes. • Remove from oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes, covered. • When rice is ready, stir through the butter.
• When rice has 15 minutes bake-time remaining, return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 10-14 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • In the last 2-3 minutes, add garlic & herb seasoning and a splash of water, turning chicken to coat.
• Slice garlic chicken. • Divide rice bake between bowls. Top with chicken. • Drizzle with garlic aioli and sprinkle with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
