Chicken fried rice

I call this a ‘homemade chippy tea’, even though it’s cheaper and tastes even better! This has got a little bit of everything; meat, vegetables and lots of rice. Buy packaged rice for convenience, and throw your own favourite vegetables in to make your own recipe.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

1 clove of garlic

240g chicken fillets

2 spring onions

1 carrot

50g peas

50g sweetcorn

1 packet of basmati rice

Method:

Pour the coconut oil into a wok or frying pan, and melt over a high heat. When melted, add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds.

Add the chicken, frying for a further 2 minutes. Throw in the onions, carrots, peas and sweetcorn and stir-fry for 3 more minutes. Check the chicken is cooked by cutting into a large piece, at which point the chicken should be thoroughly white.

Add the rice from the packet to the pan, with 1 tablespoon of water and stir-fry for 1 minute, at which the rice should be cooked.

Turn off the heat and pour the contents onto a large plate. Serve with soy sauce and sesame oil.
