Chicken Pilaf

A great quick one pot dish, measurements are approximate as I use the 'eyeball' method! You can replace the Chicken with Quorn pieces for a vegetarian version.

4 Chicken Breasts
Few lugs Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Granules
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp ground Black Pepper
1 small dried Chilli, crumbled
2 cloves Garlic, grated
300g Basmati Rice
1/2 can Kidney Beans
1 cup frozen sliced Mixed Peppers
1 cup Sweetcorn
Chicken / Vegetable stock, to cover
Salt, to season

Slice the breasts into small pieces and coat with all herbs and spices. Drizzle on oil and rub to combine, marinade overnight. In a skillet/ non stick pan, saute chicken mix and once coloured add grated garlic. Add beans, peppers and sweetcorn and cook for a few minutes. Tip in rice and add stock so it is just covering the ingredients. Cover with foil and replace lid, turn heat to lowest setting and steam until liquid absorbed (around 15/20 minutes). Do not be tempted to mix about as this will cause dish to go sticky!
Pretty simple but very flavourful. This should serve approximately 4 people.
