Ingredients
To make Ginger and Garlic Chicken, you'll need:
  • 800g cooked brown basmati rice
  • 2 tbsp. oil
  • 8 boneless chicken breasts, minus skin
  • 3 tsp. freshly chopped ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp. light soya sauce
  • 6 tbsp. water
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Pour some water into a pan until it’s around two-thirds of the way full, then pop in the uncooked rice. 
  • Over a low heat, cook the rice for 35 minutes, then drain and set to one side.
  • Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C.
  • Pour the oil into a large saucepan and place over a medium heat. 
  • Once the oil’s hot, fry the chicken for 5 minutes, ensuring that it turns white all over.
  • Mix the ginger, garlic, soya and water together in a bowl.
  • Pour this mixture onto the chicken breasts, ensuring that the chicken is thoroughly coated all over.
  • Place the chicken on a sheet of tin foil and season to taste with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Put the foil on an oven proof dish and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • Your dish is now ready to serve with sides of your choice, served on a bed of brown basmati rice.
