Ingredients
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 5 chicken legs skin on
- 50 g spring onions thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 tbsp ginger peeled and finely grated
- 350 g white rice rinsed
- 750 ml chicken stock
- 1 lime juiced plus wedges to serve
- 1 can coconut milk 400ml
- 100 g Tenderstem broccoli florets sliced and stems thinly sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 handful fresh coriander torn, to garnish
Instructions
- Set a deep frying pan over a medium heat and add the rapeseed oil. Season both sides of the chicken legs with salt and pepper, then place the legs skin-side down in the pan and leave to fry for around 15 minutes.
- Rotate and cook the chicken legs for a further 15 minutes on the other side. The skin should be crispy and golden and the meat almost cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the spring onions to the same pan (reserving some of the greener ends for garnish) and add the garlic and ginger. Fry over a medium heat for a few minutes.
- Add the rice to the pan and stir, then pour in the stock, lime juice and coconut milk.
- Add the chicken legs back to the pan, skin-side facing upwards. Cover and leave to cook over a medium/low heat for 18 minutes, adding the broccoli after eight minutes.
- Garnish with the reserved green spring onion ends, lime wedges and fresh coriander and dig in!
