Garlic Clove Basmati Rice Chicken Breast Breadcrumbs Tomato Passata Mixed Herbs Chicken Stock Green Peas Parmesan
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the basmati rice and cook for 12 minutes, until tender.

  • Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper and pound them to an even thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin.

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until frothy. Dip the chicken in the egg, then coat in breadcrumbs.

  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the chicken, and bake for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  • While the chicken is baking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the passata, chicken stock, garlic, and mixed herbs. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • With 5 minutes remaining on the rice timer, add the peas to the pot and stir to combine.

  • To serve, divide the rice and peas between two plates. Top with the chicken and spoon the herbed tomato sauce over the chicken. Grate the Parmesan cheese over the top and enjoy!
