Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • Once the water has absorbed, stir through baby spinach leaves, until wilted.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

• Meanwhile, slice zucchini into half-moons. • Roughly chop tomato. • Trim and halve green beans. • Thinly slice long chilli (if using).

• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks until browned and cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
