Provided by Samuel Goldsmith

Categories     Dinner

Time 19m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp olive oil
250g chicken breast, thinly sliced
100g chorizo, chopped
1 leek, halved lengthways and finely sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped
80g kale, any tough stalks removed, leaves roughly chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 x 250g pouches microwave wholegrain rice

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the chicken for 3 mins. Stir in the chorizo and cook for 2 mins more until the chicken is light golden and the chorizo has released its fat. Scoop the chicken and chorizo into a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving as much oil in the pan as you can. Set aside.
  • Tip the leek and red pepper into the pan and cook for 2 mins, stirring frequently until slightly softened. Add the kale and fry for 1 min more until the leaves have just started to wilt at the edges.
  • Drizzle in the soy sauce and vinegar and scatter in the rice, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon. Stir the chicken and chorizo back into the pan and toss everything together to combine. Cook for 3 mins until the rice is heated through, then serve.
