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
- Cook the rice in plenty of salted water according to the packet (about 14 minutes), drain, and set aside.
- 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.
- Steam or boil the broccoli for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the cooked rice and broccoli, toss everything together for 2 minutes so it picks up the sauce, and serve hot on two plates.
