Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely grate the ginger. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the basmati rice, the water and salt (for the rice). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered for 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2

While the rice is cooking, slice the carrot (unpeeled) into thin half-moons. Cut the broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. Using a rolling pin or the base of a saucepan, bash the crushed peanuts in their packet (or finely chop if you'd prefer!) until finely crushed.

3

In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour, the salt (for the chickenk) and a good pinch of pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the crushed peanuts. Dip the chicken breast into the flour mixture, followed by the egg, and finally in the panko peanut mixture. Set aside on a plate, ready to fry.

4

In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the crusted chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results! Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper and spoon over any extra peanut-panko crumb on top. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside to rest.

5

While the chicken is baking, wash out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the carrot and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until just softened. Add the broccoli and a splash of water and cook for a further 4-5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the broccoli is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cover with foil to keep warm.

In a small bowl, combine the sweet chilli sauce and garlic aioli.

6

Thickly slice the chicken. TIP: It’s OK if some of the crumb falls off! Divide the ginger garlic rice, peanut crusted chicken, vegetables and sweet chilli mayonnaise between plates. Sprinkle over any fallen peanut crumbs over the vegetables.
