Instructions

Get Started
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle. 
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, 5-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. 
  • Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
  • Boil the rice, 10-12 mins. Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
Add Flavour
2
  • Stir the Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), passata, red wine stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry for both) into the chicken. 
  • Bring to the boil, then simmer, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
Finish Up
3
  • Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese.
  • Next, add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • Stir in the BBQ sauce and butter (see pantry). Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Share the rice out between your bowls. 
  • Spoon the chicken alongside the rice.
  • Sprinkle over the cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
