Easy Pepper & Onion Chicken Stir-Fry with Crushed Peanuts & Rapid Rice

Step 1

Boil a kettle of water. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. Add the basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, cut the baby broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Lightly crush the black peppercorns (see ingredients) in a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin.

Step 3

SPICY! Black peppercorns can be hot, add less if you’re sensitive to heat! In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Add the diced chicken, baby broccoli and carrot, then season and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir through the crushed black peppercorns, caramelised onion chutney, oyster sauce and a drizzle of soy sauce.

Step 4

Divide the rice between bowls. Top with the pepper and onion chicken stir-fry. Garnish with the crushed peanuts.
