Ingredients

  • 200 g rice
  • 360 g chicken breast
  • 250 g broccoli
  • 200 g orange
  • 60 g onion
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 10 g cornflour
  • 2 cloves garlic

Method, step by step

  1. Cook the rice in plenty of salted water according to the packet (about 14 minutes), drain, and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into chunks, finely chop the onion and garlic, and separate the broccoli into small florets. Squeeze the oranges and dissolve the cornflour in the juice.
  3. Steam or boil the broccoli for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat and brown the chicken with the onion and garlic for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.
  5. Pour in the orange juice with the cornflour, lower the heat, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
  6. Add the cooked rice and broccoli, toss everything together for 2 minutes so it picks up the sauce, and serve hot on two plates.
