Ingredients

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, juice of ½, plus wedges
  • 1 small pinch fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 270g pack British Chicken Tomato & Basil Marinated Breast Chunks
  • 100g arrabbiata sauce (from a 350g tub)
  • 250g pouch basmati rice
  • 30g Essential Sliced Black Olives In Brine, drained
  • Few sprigs coriander, leaves picked

Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Put the onion into a microwavable bowl. Squeeze in the lemon juice, season with salt, then stir in the fennel. Microwave for 30 seconds, then set aside to speed up the pickling process.

  2. Stir ½ tbsp oil into the chicken, then thread the chunks onto 4 skewers. Grill for 3 minutes each side, until cooked through with no pink meat and juices that run clear.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the arrabbiata sauce in a small saucepan. Microwave the rice according to pack instructions, then stir into the sauce. Add the olives to the pan, heat through, then stir in the remaining oil.

  4. Divide the rice and skewers between 2 plates. Top with the pickled onions and coriander, then serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing. Good with a salad on the side, if you like.
