Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of One Pot Rice with Cumin and Turmeric
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or ghee
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 500g sliced chicken breast
• 1 jar of butter chicken sauce
• 400g green beans, stalk ends trimmed

Optional

• Fresh coriander leaves

Method:

1. Place One Pot Rice packet contents in a medium saucepan and add water. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook covered for 15 minutes, until the rice and lentils are cooked and the water is absorbed. 
2. Meanwhile, in a large pan or skillet, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil or ghee for 3 minutes over medium heat, until it turns translucent.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook until it is no longer pink.
4. Pour the jar of butter chicken sauce into the pan and stir well to combine with the chicken and onions. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chicken in the sauce for about 10 minutes.
5. While the chicken is simmering, bring a large saucepan filled with about an inch of water to the boil. Place a steam basket on top and add the green beans. Steam for 6-8 minutes.
