A wonderfully easy fail-safe way to enjoy chicken rice and broccoli. Say goodbye to dry chicken breast: this is crispy-skinned, juicy cooked chicken. Add a knob of butter to the sauce to make it extra silky!

    this was insanely good! initially, I was skeptical about the sauce, but it was an absolute flavor bomb. I don't trust myself to cook rice on the stove, so I quickly stir-fried the broccoli and garlic in a separate pan and added it to my rice cooker with the rice. still came out amazing!

    This was great, but a few things: - You will definitely need more water for the rice. - Whoever is plating this up in 35 mins must be a miracle worker. This took me over a hour. - Get ready to use every pan you have.

    Hey Selina! We've reviewed this one and upped the amount of water and rice cooking time slightly. We've also increased the expected cooking time to an hour. Thanks for the helpful feedback!

    This is absolutely banging. Flavors are incredible. I added some sliced spring onions to the rice part and used courgette instead of broccoli - still fire!

    Carrots don't cook in 3 minutes. If you cook the sauce in said time, you get an uncooked lumpy sauce.

    Thanks so much for your feedback Sinead and sorry for the confusion. It should take 10-15 mins to soften the carrots – we've updated the recipe!

    So good! Perfect dinner for fighting off that early autumnal cold ❄️. I needed to add a bit more water to the rice but I imagine that’s just due to the variety. Delicious as ever mob *chefs kiss*

    Really delicious recipe. The quantity of rice is far too much and could be cut down to 80g per portion and still have plenty.

    Made this. Was pretty good, noticed you have sesame seeds in the pic? Should we be adding these? Are they counted in the nutrition?

    Thanks for your feedback Jack! We've added the sesame seeds to the ingredients list. The sesame seeds are an optional garnish so won't be included in the nutrition.

    1tbsp of sesame seeds is around 52 calories, 4.5g fat, 2.1g of carbs, 1.6g protein. But a good source of calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamin b6
