Cooking Steps

1
  • Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

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

2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion.
  • Slice cucumber into thin rounds.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons.
  • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
3
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. 
    When oil is hot, cook chicken and onion, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle.

4
  • Add paprika spice blend and tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Stir in light cooking cream and stock concentrate, and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce looks dry.

5
  • In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, cucumber, carrot ribbons, a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste.
6
  • Divide rice, creamy Hungarian chicken paprikás and cabbage slaw between plates. Tear over parsley to garnish. Enjoy!
