6 skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 large onion, chopped
2 tbsp. curry powder - strength to suit taste
350g easy-cook wholegrain rice
700ml chicken or veg stock
250g frozen peas

Pre-heat oven to 200C/gas mk 6
Frylight a pan, preferably one that can go in oven to save on washing up!
Cook chicken for about 10 mins or until browned off all over.
Add onion and cook for a further 5 mins.
Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute. Stir in rice and stock and bring to the boil.
Cover and bake for 30 mins or until all liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
Stir in the peas and allow to stand for about 3 mins while they cook through.

This recipe tastes lovely when cold too so would be good for lunch the next day.
I usually serve with a side of broccoli or other green veg.
