Introduction

A family favourite made easy, adjust chilli to suit your taste, a super quick one-pot wonder.

Method

Heat a little olive oil in a flameproof casserole dish over a medium high heat.
Rub the chicken with 1 tbsp. chipotle, a drizzle of olive oil & a little sea salt then brown in the casserole until golden and then set aside.
Add the onion, garlic & peppers to the casserole and cook on a gentle heat for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add the remaining chipotle, mix well then add the rice & stir to coat evenly.
Add the stock and return the chicken to the casserole, cover with a lid, then simmer gently for 12-15 minutes, keep checking until the rice is tender & the chicken cooked thoroughly.
Just before the end of cooking, add the diced tomatoes & petit pois.
To serve finish by stirring through the coriander, scatter over the chillies and serve with lemon wedges.
