150g (2-3 fillets) frozen breaded chicken breast mini fillets
140g pack microwaveable jasmine rice
2 tsp soy sauce
3 tsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame seeds
60g hoisin sauce
2 salad onions, finely sliced
¼ cucumber, peeled into ribbons or cut into thin batons

Heat the air fryer to 200°C. Put the chicken fillets in one side of the air fryer (or on the air fryer rack) and cook for 10 minutes. While they’re cooking, heat the rice in the microwave for 1 minute, then mix in a bowl with the soy sauce, 2 tsp vinegar and most of the sesame seeds.
Put the rice in the other side of the air fryer (or under the rack) and pat it down into a layer. Cook everything for a further 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the hoisin sauce and remaining 1 tsp vinegar in a non-metallic bowl. Mix, then microwave for 40 seconds. Toss the hot, crispy chicken in the sauce and serve with the salad onions, cucumber and remaining sesame seeds.
