Cooking Instructions

1 Ten-Min Nutty Bang Bang Prawn Stir-Fry

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps

Wash your fruit and veg

Note: equipment and pan sizes vary. Ensure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 mins)

2 Ten-Min Peri Peri Chicken Rice

Now, let's get started!

Boil a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Meanwhile, cut the Romano pepper[s] in half lengthways (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and slice finely

3 Ten-Min Peri Peri Chicken Rice

Once hot, add the diced chicken and sliced pepper to the pan and cook for 3 min

4 Ten-Min Peri Peri Chicken Rice

Meanwhile, microwave the steamed pure basmati rice according to packet instructions

Tip: if you're cooking two packets, pop them in together but increase the microwave cook time accordingly!

5 Ten-Min Peri Peri Chicken Rice

Slice the spring onions finely

Dissolve 1/2 [1] chicken stock cube in 150ml [250ml] boiled water

6 Ten-Min Peri Peri Chicken Rice

Add the garlic paste, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, chilli flakes (Can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and chipotle paste (Can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the pan and cook for 30 sec

7 Ten-Min Peri Peri Chicken Rice

Add the heated rice, chicken stock and the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon and give everything a good mix up

Cook for 1-2 min further or until the liquid has absorbed and the chicken is cooked through

Note: please ensure you cook your chicken thoroughly (until there’s no pink meat and it’s piping hot!) as cooking equipment varies

Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon into wedges
